Hehe have been there, but here is the explanation of Interface vs Function

Take a head set... you have one microphone and one set of ear speakers

You can see that as one Function (microphone+speakers) or two Interfaces. if you make a driver for Speakers and run it on Interface level, then this example is half suported.

Another example is Card readers. I have one 18 in one card read, it has support for Mass storage and a Hub. It is supported becoarse we have a Interface driver for Mass Storage and a Interface Hub Driver.

If I were to make a headset driver I whould proberly has choosen to make it as a Function driver as we need too keep Microphone and Spearkers in sync.

1) Scanner
2) PTP
3) WebCam
4) WLan
5) Bluetooth
6) EHCI
7) Palm
8) Dot4

Looking at the list most of them need more than the driver to be usefull

Scanner / WebCam need a API layer so other software can use the like SWAIN, this migth be fun to implement.

Bluetooth need an another stack this is out of my reached.

WLan well this is possible but a big job, looking at the usb wireless usb standard is not gonna be easy

EHCI also need a usb stack update to be usefull also out of my reach

Palm / Dot4 should not be to hard if I can find the usb specs and have access to a device.

@AmiDog

The problem with isochronous was that Thomas Graff dident had any device the used it so he chouldent implement it.

Also I dont know any device that uses it on the other hand I havent searched for it.

@dazA1

A fast recompile of the source from sourceforge showed me that it depended on to linux kernel calls that we dont have on os4, so for a os4 driver I need access to the device or else I will be working in blindness.

RWO

I'm looking into USB for OS4 and I like to know what drivers/devices people need/want for os4

This list will help possible developers to start on drivers there is most wanted and apriciated.

I for one whould like to finish my PTP driver but there is a problem with the HCD driver for that to finish

Also I have Floppy Disk support for OS4 on my todo list.

At the moment I'm working on another usb device that I hope to finish real soon.

So People start telling my what you need and hope for.

NB: There is no prommises.. this list is only a guidens

RWO


The list so far:

1) Scanner (Needs Isochronous)
2) PTP (95% done)
3) WebCam (Needs Isochronous)
4) WLan/wifi (Needs Isochronous)
5) Bluetooth
6) EHCI
7) Palm
8) Dot4
9) CDC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_communications_device_class
10) cm15a http://www.linuxha.com/USB/cm15a.html
11) MTP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol

@haymigga

Yep me too... if he finds the time he will write a line or two.

@spotUP

I called Henning yesterday and today on his Mobilphone but no anser :/

@TetiSoft

Fake? no I have no clue what you are hintting at!

@PEB

If you have a chooce use newlib as its faster and smaller exe's.. but clib2 have more functions so thats why more linux ports use clib2

RWO

@Rudei

Ya AmigaOS4 pre#4 and Final are pretty big event for 2006

When AWeb got AmiSSL v3 support it got a hole lot more usable.. so thats on my list to.

My idea as every small to big programs that made the computer experions more fun or easyer should be mention even if it a small Patch/Hack like the FinalWrite thingy or like a full blown release like GoldED.

RWO

What is the best software release for 2006..

Lets get some cantidates and make a pool!! And maybe make it yearly event every January ?

I'll wait a little with my list as I'm not sure which is best.. gotta thing about that.

RWO

@Cyborg

Ahem you are missing one driver to make it complete 8129 !!

and do you support all four version of 8139 ?

Anyway superb work always nice to se new driver for os4

RWO

@xeron

Why not allocate 4 bytes more (12bytes in all) and place memsize in -4 to increse compatilible even more for 68k programmes?

Anyway good work!

RWO

@tonyw

I cant remember where I got it from but all you need is there defines

#define SETVC_DPMSLevel 0x88002001
#define DPMS_ON 0
#define DPMS_STANDBY 1
#define DPMS_SUSPEND 2
#define DPMS_OFF 3

RWO

@tonyw

Its the data for the

staruct Image {}

Found below the data planes


Where the data is 64x64 bits in 4 bitplanes.. on Classic mashines it should also be in CHIP mem..

The data is always allocated with a width of 16 pixels or 2 bytes to be alligned for the blitter.

@Shadow

Dont forget to include my autolaunch _start() function in your(e) blankers.

And I would like a copy of your resent glmatrix blanker as I want to use it a starting point for a GLBlanker I have my eyes on

BTW: I uploaded new updated versions of all my blanker to os4depot execpt the Zoom and other not puplished blankers.

RWO

wow those looks pretty nice

RWO

@ikir & TrevorDick

The zoom blanker is one that I ported from linux's xscreensaver collection.

Visit my site for now to get it, atleast till I get back home and uploads my updated modules to os4depot

www.rwo.dk/download.php

RWO

I had problem with the Zoom blanker so I disabled the nice but buggy effect.. But it should'nt suprice me if there more bugs hidden in the code (it is linux code after all).

Try disabling the zoom blanker and se if the problem still is around

Ha did it, I ported Subspace AmigaAMP plugin to a ScreenBlanker module just for you.. I did it in a really hurry so it proberly full of bugs and other stuff.

So do you owe me a SID Timeout and/or a play only default sid tune ? :)

PS: You find this module on os4depot
