Ah that explains why I'm reading dev #3. I had problems with conio at an early stage. Perhaps time to give it a go again

| Post subject: | Kernel: How to find out the device number |
I'm trying to find a way to find out what Device number was used to load the current program, or what device was last accessed. I've been looking thru the kernel memory pages ($0000-03ff) but can't find it. I thought I could just read $00ba and get it, but no. |

erhm.. why not? - $ba always holds the last accessed disk device num!? |

I don't know, I'm currently using cc65 and I'm just reading 3, which is the screen IIRC. It must be the cc65 library that's messing with the devices. I'd want to check $ba before the lib does its things but I don't know if there's any convenient way of doing that other than with a ML Monitor.... |

Use conio.h instead of stdio.h. stdio uses device 3 to print, conio uses direct screen access and is much faster. |
