[net.micro.pc] Device Drivers

lee@A60.UUCP (Gene Lee) (10/27/86)

   I am interested in experimenting with device drivers.  Does anyone
know how to write one or where I might find detailed information on their
structure and implementation?

        Thanks in advance

The DOS Technical Reference manual the IBM sells (at hiway robbery prices!)
has all the information necessary to write device drivers.  Included on the
DOS 3.x Supplement disk is a commented source listing of VDISK.SYS (IBM's Ram
disk program).  This is a good reference for how to actually write one.
