::There is (or at least there was) no way to ask for the X and Y position of the mouse pointer in an application. Or can you tell me, why the Grafpad can't be used in GMSK? If the OS would provide a general pointer-based HID support, the application doesn't need to take care if there is a joystick, a mouse or a grafpad connected. Anyway there are no functions available for an application, where these devices can be used. [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 18:59, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 
There is no sense in using a graphic tablet in a sprite converter like GMSK. But if you like this function included I&nbsp;can do that for you. The Grafpad is for entering graphical data or for fast selection. There is a routine (read ROM&nbsp;a documentation) which provide the desired features, it deals with keyboard and different joysticks. Only for the Grafpad there is at the moment no application available, but why don't you make one?
 
However, this is NOT the question. FutureOS supports the Graphpad and the other applications. So please let me restore the article now. [[TFM|TFM]].
<br>The following hardware doesn't seem to be supported as well:

:Again you're wrong. The IDE support is in the IDE ROM&nbsp;of FutureOS. Everybody can download it. The CPC Booster support is maybe few, but no questioin still existing in the core OS ROMs.
:Further CBM is DEFINITLY a part of the OS. As the programmer of FutureOS I&nbsp;know it better than a person who wants again to fight aginst a concurent OS. I have also to revert the text.
::No, CBM is not a part of Fos&nbsp;:-) It is a piece of source code which has to be copied into the source code of the application. Would you say, that all RSX extensions ever developed in history are "a part" of Locomotive Basic, and would you list all these in the Locomotive Basic article?? No, definitely not! [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 18:59, 12 January 2009 (UTC)::Hello?&nbsp;You want to know it better than the programmer? If CBM is not a part of FutureOS, then is sos not existing at all. Do you know what you say? Think about this! ::: Btw, CBM is not even like an RSX extension. As it has to be linked into the applications source code directly, applications are not updated automatically, if CBM is updated. You will have to compile the application with the new CBM sources again to make the update happen. And this is, what you call "a part of the OS"? &nbsp;:-) [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 19:09, 12 January 2009 (UTC) <br> :A RSX extension. NO, really NOT. You are absolutely wrong, in CBM only the text (and very few routines) are linked to the application. Only the things that are DIFFERENT in every application. The main code is in the ROMs. And who cares about ROM&nbsp;or not ROM. You are on the woodway. [[TFM|TFM]]. <br> <br>
:Further only the compatible and tested ROM&nbsp;expansions are listed. Joysticks are not ROM&nbsp;boards. And for sure the sos is not able to use them all. Or have you tried Super ROMbard Plus (provides ROMs with ROM&nbsp;selects 16-31)?&nbsp;The world it not that simple as you think.
::What's the problem with ROM select 16-31? Btw, why did you mention SymbOS here? (which "supports" 1-63 btw., but stupid to mention such nonsense). I still don't see any reason for listing the rom expansion. [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 18:59, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 
:Nice insult to call me stupid. Now Gryzor please stop him insulting me! However, ignoring that insult. Also SOS needs at least one ROM with a number between 0 and 15, you didn't know that? [[TFM|TFM]].
:And&nbsp;please stop insulting me and FutureOS. Since you&nbsp;feel insulted by every piece of dust, you should better know&nbsp;how to deal with words.&nbsp;You behave here like a little child that tries to beat up the toy of another child. And&nbsp;sorry for any insults, if I&nbsp;made some by accident with out even knowing. [[TFM|TFM]].
:''So, first you call someone a child and then you say 'sorry! I didn't know I'm insulting you'?? Consider this a warning, a blip more out of your fingers and you're banned for a couple of weeks before this turns into yet another flame. [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]]''
<br>Please read carefully! I&nbsp;didn't call anybody a child. I was talking about my subjective impression of the acting of another person. So why don't you ban Prodatron for some time, the effect would be the same. It would be peace again. He is insulting me constantly (by the way, you have been calling me that often stupid in the forum that I&nbsp;can't count it. Also you have used the F-word against me). So I'm the last person who should be banned because of insulting anybody elso. My forms are still some of the best here. But please don't start now a "We will calculate who was insulting more" discussion here. That would be to childish for me. And I&nbsp;DON'T call you a child. If you think that calling somebody a child is an insult, then you're just insulting children. I&nbsp;don't want to talk about the abilities of the brains of children too much, but be sure, they can do much more than you think and much more than a mature brain. [[TFM|TFM]].
