First, get ye to ye ol' computer bookstore and purchase the official bible
of AmigaDOS devices:  "The AmigaDOS ROM Kernal Manual: Libraries and Devices"
from the fine folk at Addison-Wessley.  Everything you'll need to know is
in there.  There are three (maybe more with the new editions) other books
in this series, RKM: Exec, RKM: Intuition, and RKM: Hardware.

I'm sure you've heard us speak of the RKM books.  These are they.  Remember
the 11th commandment:

    "Thou shalt not hack AmigaDOS without RKMs at thy side"

(a large smiley 8-> goes with this message)
