For those interested in hardware, Delta Research is selling
AMIGA ProtoBoards. They sell two models one is Zorro board and the
other connects to the 86 pin connector on the AMIGA. The 86 pin
board is 11'x7.5" , labels the pins on the 86 pin connector, has
power and ground busses, and costs $49.95 .
As far as I can tell these are the only prototype cards available.
The documentation with the board notes that Fred Fish disk 27 contains
the design for a 1M byte expansion memory and a battery backup clock.
The clock design includes a program that sets the AMIGA date and
time from the clock.
Now for the big question.....
I have been look at ALL the Amiga documentation and can't find
the information on writing drivers. I have the documentation on
the auto-configure spec, but it only contains hardware info. There
is some information in the back of one of the ROM Kernel Manuals,
but no information on how to find the address of your hardware after
the AMIGA auto-configures it.

I think I have found the information I'm looking for. Fred Fish
disk 39 has the source for a disk driver. The driver uses RAM to
emulate the disk, but still includes info on finding hardware
addresses, interrupt processing, and command formats.
