:Indeed you are wrong, all these devices are supported by FutureOS, just connect it to the CPC. You can use them to control the Desktop or for foreigen programs. Naturally the Plus devices (analogue joystick etc.) are only usable by a CPC Plus. All devices can be accesseb by OS routines. See documentation. So I&nbsp;have to correct your updates, because they are just wrong. And by the way I'm waiting for an excuse for your insulting phrases. [[TFM|TFM]].
 
::There is (or at least there was) no way to ask for the X and Y position of the mouse pointer in an application. Or can you tell me, why the Grafpad can't be used in GMSK? If the OS would provide a general pointer-based HID support, the application doesn't need to take care if there is a joystick, a mouse or a grafpad connected. Anyway there are no functions available for an application, where these devices can be used. [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 18:59, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
<br>The following hardware doesn't seem to be supported as well:
:Again you're wrong. The IDE support is in the IDE ROM&nbsp;of FutureOS. Everybody can download it. The CPC Booster support is maybe few, but no questioin still existing in the core OS ROMs.
 
::"Few"?? So how can I use the CPC Booster in my own applications? I found NOTHING about this! You ignored the Coprocessor card completely. Regarding IDE: Yes, I know your IDE rom. As I said, the "support" is a simple BIOS function, not an OS feature at all. [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 18:59, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 
:Further CBM is DEFINITLY a part of the OS. As the programmer of FutureOS I&nbsp;know it better than a person who wants again to fight aginst a concurent OS. I have also to revert the text.
 
::No, CBM is not a part of Fos&nbsp;:-) It is a piece of source code which has to be copied into the source code of the application. Would you say, that all RSX extensions ever developed in history are "a part" of Locomotive Basic, and would you list all these in the Locomotive Basic article?? No, definitely not!

:Further only the compatible and tested ROM&nbsp;expansions are listed. Joysticks are not ROM&nbsp;boards. And for sure the sos is not able to use them all. Or have you tried Super ROMbard Plus (provides ROMs with ROM&nbsp;selects 16-31)?&nbsp;The world it not that simple as you think.
 
::What's the problem with ROM select 16-31? Btw, why did you mention SymbOS here? (which "supports" 1-63 btw., but stupid to mention such nonsense). I still don't see any reason for listing the rom expansion. [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 18:59, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 
:And&nbsp;please stop insulting me and FutureOS. Since you&nbsp;feel insulted by every piece of dust, you should better know&nbsp;how to deal with words.&nbsp;You behave here like a little child that tries to beat up the toy of another child. And&nbsp;sorry for any insults, if I&nbsp;made some by accident with out even knowing. [[TFM|TFM]].
 
::TFM, why do you have this persecution mania? Why do you always think, that there is a "fight" against you and your fos? If something is not correct, it should be corrected. Btw, you made just a simple revert of all changes, even of changes, which only corrected the article without removing "supported" stuff etc. That doesn't make any sense, so I will undo your revert again.

:''So, first you call someone a child and then you say 'sorry! I didn't know I'm insulting you'?? Consider this a warning, a blip more out of your fingers and you're banned for a couple of weeks before this turns into yet another flame. [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]]''
