A new API, directly from the user programs to the VDI implementation would be far better, there is no doubt.
It would help a lot if the VDI and AES interface were the same as the one for GEMDOS and (X)BIS. On different traps so it will be an enhancement. trap 3 and 4 for instance. -- Groeten; Regards.
