Hi, I use FpIOctl from "BaseUnix" . My platform is Linux. I do FpOpen then FpIOCTL. It works! However: The kernel 2.6 has a new naming convention for the function number. See the file: asm/ioctl.h This file contains many constants and the final call number is assembled from the direction type,

Hi, on FreeBSD I use fpOpen, fpIoctl, etc. to drive some generic device. In my porting efforts to win32 I have found the more generic FileOpen, but no equivalent of fpIoctl or it's underlying unix system call ioctl(). An old win32.hlp told me Windows has "DeviceIoCtl()", but I'm not really sure i
