This file was my list of "things to find out." I figured if I threw it in maybe some of you would know some answers. Any new information is always greatly appreciated, and I'll mention you in my CREDITS file too, eh? -------------------------------------------- sound cards (I have some stuff on the Sound Blaster, info on any others would be greatly appreciated) FAX boards (I have the Calculus API. Others welcome) the new proposed FAX API standard(s) I keep reading about IBM 2.88mb floppy format (ID byte, sectors, tracks, etc) IBM 128mb floppy format (ditto) proprietary EGA/VGA video modes (everyone seems to have some oddball modes in their video boards. More of a curiosity than anything else, but beats collecting matchbook covers) more network stuff - particularly OEM extensions to NETBIOS IBM Double Byte Character Set stuff (this stuff is REAL NEAT. There's maybe two lines in the MSDOS Encyclopedia, a word or two in Advanced MSDOS, nothing in Undocumented DOS. Microsoft won't say anything, and IBM refers me to Microsoft. This is the way Oriental versions of DOS handle a squidzillion Korean, Japanese, and Chinese characters by extending the ASCII code to two bytes, giving lots more room. But how?) udoc'd MS Mouse calls (I keep hearing reports of undocumented int 33h and int 16h calls in later versions of MS MOUSE.COM, but I can't track down anything in the versions I have) low-level tape drive stuff (how can progs like PC Tools and Norton Backup talk to different tape drives? I can't get anything at all from Archive, Colorado, or Wangtek) talker board APIs (these are special boards for the blind. Some have fancy programming APIs) DOS redirector interface (I've heard various stories on this, but the only people I've talked to who've seen it are under nondisclosure. No help from MS yet. Evidently I just don't know who to talk to) MS CD-ROM interface (Microsoft wrote back and told me there isn't one, MSCDEX I have framed the letter as a monument to incompetency) a copy of the High Sierra CDROM standard Concurrent DOS (various versions), DR-DOS 3.31 thru 6.0, DOSMerge/386 disk formats for DEC Rainbow, Victor 9000 IBM ESDI Technical Reference - int 13h/1Ah, 1Bh, 1Ch calls GEM - int EFh API Btrieve int 7Bh API IBM XGA specification Hercules mode detection standard - there was one once, but Hercules doesn't seem to answer letters Intel Image Processing Specification 1.0 SEAware FAKEY, etc, etc DISPLAY.SYS calls KEYB.COM calls 8514/A API, PGA API (these are discontinued, but the information would be really nice) AST Research Generic Accelerator Card Driver (GACD) Specification (also obsolete, but I'd like to have it for completeness - AST doesn't distribute it any more)
