The console device does not depend on any other system component (except graphics.library, which writes the text to the screen). I can't think of any way that Write requests can be executed in the wrong order.

Or is the problem that a single Write request string is being displayed with the ...

Is this the problem you showed in the thread "Console.device A1222..." ?

If so, please email me privately so that we can sort out the problem.

I hope I am reading this correctly:

In a system with a newer version of console.device, a DoIO() with a few characters outputs the chars to screen in the wrong order, for later Writes. Correct?

Are you sending Write requests directly to the console.device? Because a Write string will always be ...

The console does not have a "Flush" action. The console receives Write requests (usually from the con-handler unless you are issuing DoIO() requests to the console.device).
If the Write buffer contains N chars, they are processed as an N-char string. If it contains only a single char, then it is ...

Do check your Kickstart/ drawer to make sure that the file "sii3512ide.device.kmod" is there. It also has to be included in the Kicklayout file - you should have a line saying:
"MODULE sii3512ide.device.kmod"

I think it is wrong to modify Multiview to do what graphics.library should do. I have spent some time in the past trying to see how hard it would be to make graphics support RTL* text. A big problem is that there are no spare style bits that you can switch to indicate RTL text. Perhaps the ...

Aren't some of the third-party archive tools 68k?

Actually, this is no longer true, although technically the rewritten C version is still in beta. I've no doubt it will be released one day.

The ".kmod" files are usually drivers and libraries, as Niels said. They are all loaded by the Loader, when it finds their name in the Kicklayout configuration. They don't *have* to be in the Kickstart/ drawer (since they are listed in the Kicklayout file with their path), but it is convenient to ...

Hi Samo,

NGFS is intended to replace the aging FFS with a new, modern file system. It is intended to be released with OS 4.2 for all NG platforms.

The "Interim version" was released with the X5000 installation as an alternative to SFS. The interim version will run only on the X5000 and A1222 ...
