TD64 or NSD for new storage drivers?

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'm sure a torrent for the Dev CD will appear on the pirate bay in a few days.

 This is another example of how developer hostile AmigaOS has become.

After finding examples of software that does use NSD, I see they all reference devices/newstyle.h which doesn't exist in the 3.9NDK.

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.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Those two choices aren't mutually exclusive.  I bought my dev CD about 10yrs ago from a well known European Amiga dealer and it is quite obviously a CDR with an inkjet printed label stuck to the disc.

I wonder if he's been asked?  I'd definitely pay for a couple of books to get the updated one.

Edit: I just asked him, we'll see.  I just hope he doesn't come unglued at the mention of the book.

I have the original print edition of the Guru Book but I'd definitely pay in advance for a copy of the new edition.

He's not interested.

It's a shame.  He put a lot of work into something a lot of us want.

Perhaps he is full of sh1t......
