Re: [MiNT] PCI bios, calling conventions (XPCI?)



Hello!

I've been using the PCI bios for some project. The default API for
this is through some function pointer retrieved from the _PCI-cookie.
Some dude has made some XBIOS-extension to handle this as well, but it
seems this is not the default way of doing things.

Frankly I dislike the idea of accessing system functions through the
Cookie-Jar. It doesn't seem like a modern approach at all.
Should I contine using this method, or should I use the XBIOS-approach instead?

I hope it's a driver for FreeMiNT :-) Then it don't matter that much, in kernel space you can do all things you like. Beside from that, if the XBIOS provide that functions I think it's always the best idea to use the XBIOS.


Regards,
Frank
