I can get MorphOS to bootup ok, but cant get
it to see my GVP IO board. The driver ordinarlily
goes into the Expansion directory but there is
no Expansion directory with MorphOS. Anyone
know how I can get MorphOS to see gvpser.device?
Thanks.

Posting without a title was clever (It can't be clicked then), but I was also clever and managed to view the post. Can't help with GVP however .

I think it's got a subject title now. >:)

You need to execute "binddrivers". Not sure if it fully works, but if it does you should add the call to the startup-sequence.

Hope this helps.

Ok, I'll give this a try. Thanks! Would I
also need to create an Expansion dir and
place the IO driver there?

Nope, that didn't work. Any other ideas
or suggestions?

Why not copy driver to DEVS: directly?

Sorry stupid question but what is GVPIO in the first place? Zorro expansion card with serial ports?

The GVPIO installer put's GVPIO in the expansion directory and the docs say it has to be there. It's not a mountable device like you find in devs:dosdrivers, it's not an executable either. It's a file that contains the
tooltypes for baud rate, buffers, etc. Just in case
someone else needs to know, a different version of the command Binddrivers does work. I'm pretty sure that binddrivers looks for the GVPIO file in the expansion
dir. Yes, it is a Zorro expansion card with 2 serial
and 1 parallel port. I finally got Miami to see gvpser.device and submit my registration! 3 cheers
for the guy that suggested binddrivers!
