IMIO is then used to access the image or graphics +planes of the device as a disk resident imagefile would be referenced. +Each image plane of each image device is a separate "imagefile", and has a +distinct image header file in the directory "dev$". + +This package uses the ZFIOGD (binary graphics device) device driver, the +source for which is in host$gdev. It is this driver which implements physical +i/o to the device (actually, to the host system device driver for the device). |
