Looking for an AmigaOS technical manual

[Trev]

Markus Wandel did all the work for you: http://wandel.ca/homepage/execdis/index.html

Exec doesn't handle deadlocks. It's a pretty dumb scheduler.

You can find the last RKMs at http://cataclysm.cx/random/amiga/reference. Inside, you'll find official explanations of how everything works.

I'm sure you've looked by now, but the disassembly is annotated and useful as a learning tool, assuming the annotations are accurate.

Long delayed-response, sorry. Nothing happens, it just deadlocks. The tasks involved are, to use the technical term, dead parrots.
