I've found the discussions in this thread interesting and informative,
despite them mostly way above my 'pay grade' in terms of computer
programming, etc! However one point has drawn my attention. This is that:
If and where there are 'undocumented' interfaces, etc, then I really hope
someone who understands them *is* going to document them if they will
remain unreplaced!
One of the difficulties I faced when trying to assemble the 'ROSS' (RO
Sound System) document some years ago was tracking down details of various
aspects of the system and trying to write an *understandable* explanation
of them for others. And this was just a small part of the OS...
