TD64 or NSD for new storage drivers?

[matthey]

I'm trying to get the developer CD that has the NSD docs on it now, I'm finding it hard to get information.

I thought that NSD had made it so that you couldn't support both.  That the codes conflicted or something.

If you haven't read Ralf Babel's "Why NSD is broken as designed", you probably should:

Why is it all secret and paid for these days?  Assuming I can even buy a developer CD.  The RTG lockdown from a 3rd party developer is stupid enough, but a 10+ year old public interface in the OS itself?

I may end up doing TD64 just because I can do it without paying to ship a hard to find CD from Europe or becoming a pirate.

Don't get all upset. There's no money here for the pirate police to make money off of. Maybe a few politically correct immature types will complain but it looks like this material is copyright but freely redistributable. Go figure why the documentation is not in the 3.9 NDK.

What site is that?  I'm not familiar with Thomas.

I believe TCL is referring to Thomas Rapp. His web site is nice (in German but easier to navigate than some bloated English web sites) and it's in his tag line on the 1st page of this thread:

He is a little bit sensitive about copyrights, trademarks, licenses, disclaimers, etc. so he might not put anything on his web site. It probably means he has and makes money so he has to be careful.
