Hello,
i have made a fairly good tpc even for wip so far
i just wish i could make it a bit simpler

but anyway download attached and install it then...
use this code

+ Code Snippet

handle AS DWORD

handle=open device("\.\CdRom0",1)
if handle=0 then print "1"
tmp=device io(handle,2967560,0,0,0,0)
if tmp=0 then print "2"
tmp=close device(handle)
if tmp=0 then print "3"

wait key

I'm still working on keywords.ini and documentation

but this alone provides enough power to communicate with any device on your system

i'm working on implementing asynchronous control which would mean no pausing

CAUTION:
do not play around with that big number in device io ;changing that number can screw up your hardware, format your harddrive, or probably in one way or another cause your pc to crash
edit:

and if you get a number displayed on your screen then there was an error

edit2:
no reply?

I didnt fail, I just found 10,000 ways that don't work
