Hi all.

I've been pulling my hair out trying to open console.device.

I can open the screen, window, port and IORequest fine.. but it fails when I call OpenDevice().


I have followed the instructions from the ROM Kernel Reference Manual and I am using the Amiga C/C++ extension for VSCode.

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks so much!
