Does anybody know how I can get the Driver Design Guide for 3b2s from
ATT? I called them and they don't know what I am talking about. I
guess I need to tell them the select code but I don't know it.
A while back, I read some people raveing about it and I wanna get one.

But you can order the "Driver Development Guide" (select code 307-191) and the "Driver Reference Manual" (select code 307-192) if you're willing to pay the $100-150 for them. They contain most of the information from the Driver Design Guide, no contract required.

When I searched the documentation lists from AT&T, all I ever found was the "UNIX System V/VME Driver Design Guide", #307-771 Issue 1, copyright 1986. I paid about $60 for it. It is very helpful, but you must read through some VME specific stuff at times. Much more cost effective is "Writing a UNIX Device Driver" by Egan and Teixeira for $25.00 from Wiley. Again must read through MASSCOMP RTU specific details for generic Unix behavior. Caveat: I have used these books to make small adjustments in some existing drivers, but I have never written anything from scratch. -- A. Lester Buck ...!uunet!nuchat!moray!siswat!buck
