The 1.3 RKM? If not, go purchase the 1.3 Developer's kit for $@0 I
believe & get the 1.3 source. Much better than pre-1.3.
Secondly, I am working on the last problem with my Prowriter printer
driver (correctly flushing buffers on an abort), and have been through
this also... I tried for some time to get a driver to link properly
with Manx; had some limited success, but essentially couldn't get the
printer device to correctly call my functions with parameters. Wrote
some stubs which got several of them working, but finally gave up and
went back to Lattice 3.02 (Actually my old 3.03, but it was too buggy &
borrowed a friend's copy of 3.02 which mostly worked). Anyway, I think
I may still have some of those stubs around, but I was shooting in the
dark & don't think they would really help that much. Also, to assemble
the .asm files, I used the MetaComco assembler (another friend) since
it worked with Alink :^)
If you get the Manx stubs working, send me a note - I'd like to rework
the driver for Manx also, just for grins.
