[comp.sources.wanted] Block Device Driver for MS-DOS

shahram@CS.UCLA.EDU (05/18/87)

Has anybody out there ever written a block device driver under MS-DOS 
(or any other DOS for that matter)? If someone has something that is
public domain I'd like to take a look at it... a skeleton would be fine!

Thank you all in advance.

There are a number of easily accessible sources for this information.  Two
that I know of are the IBM PC-DOS Technical Manual which includes the
source code for ramdisk program, and "Advanced MS-DOS" by (I think) Ray
Duncan and Published by Microsoft Press.  The latter book is truly
excellent and goes into considerable detai writing and using DOS
device drivers.

Check you local bookstore.
