If the name of this board is known, it is returned as string; otherwise you will receive a string containing the decimal value of the ID, introduced by a '#'. There are currently not much names known. I rely on your help. Please send me the manufacturer name and id and the product name and id of as much boards as possible! :-) And if you want to correct all spelling mistakes in this guide, you should contact me, too... ;) @EndNode @Node Copyright "ExpName: Copyright" @{U} COPYRIGHT @{UU} This software is copyrighted by Richard Körber.

If you want to get the name of a special expansion board, you can pass the manufacturer ID and product ID directly to GetExpName(). Set the pointer to the ConfigDev parameter to NULL if you want to do so... If you want to get the name of all expansion boards or of a special expansion board, you have to get a ConfigDev structure first. Pass this structure to GetExpName(), and voila... :-) It is really that simple! @EndNode @Node ListExp "ExpName: ListExp" ListExp is a small tool (my first one written in C ;) which uses the expname.library. It lists all connected expansion boards, shows their names (if possible), their address and their size. Try it out to see what expname.library can do. If there are entries which are introduced by a '#' instead of a name, you should send me ASAP a description of the missing board... :-) @EndNode @Node Credits "ExpName: Credits" I wish to send my best regards to the following people: @{U} Sven Arke @{UU} for supporting me with his BBS @{U} Commodore Amiga @{UU} for the development of the best computer ever built... ...and for their contributions: Norbert Dimpfl, Markus Pietz, Kai Rode, Martin Wietfeld, Thomas Andersson, Jörn Asmussen, Lutz Legero, Mika Lundell, Jürgen Ofner, Thomas Schürger, 'ALV', Gunther Mannigel, Heiko Polig, Chris Painter, Patrick Thato, Rask Lambertsen, Jan Rembser @{B} // \\\\ // -- Amiga - The Computer for Creative Mind -- \\X/ @{UB} @EndNode
