Noob alert: translating a binddriver file to ROM

rkauer · 27 April 2010, 04:48

Title says pretty much: some guys are making a new add-on for the Amiga.

Thing is the device currently are mounted by a binddriver archive, ruining all chances to make an autoboot device.

Can someone tell me the baby steps to make such thing?

I think this is the same as grabbing the controller from the RAM and saving it to a file, where then it will be tossed in custom ROM using REMUS.

Can someone guide me?

Well, all I can help you with, is redirect you to some hackers/coders, who can actually give you some advice.
You could contact:

Doobrey
Piru
PeterK
Cosmos

I know they have enough knowledge in that area to help you.

Good luck

I'll contact Doobrey & Cosmos because I have they in good count and they are nice guys. Thanks for the hints.

I never met PeterK (even via internet), so can't say much about him.

I will not ask Piru, he is really busy in MorphOS stuff.

OK, a wild guess: if I mount the drivers using the binddriver command and then dumping the RAM address range to an archive in RAW format, can I use this as a Rom-able version of the driver(s)?
