[comp.unix.xenix] Device drivers

rgc@edison.GE.COM (Rick Carl) (01/09/88)

Excuse me if this has been asked and answered previously...BUT

I have been recently assigned the task of writing a device driver
for one of our products that will reside in both the PC and the microVAX
running unix and/or venix or (some 386-ix).
We haven't decided which op sys we want to support on the PC version...
the microVAX may run VAXELN or VMS or System V.

My problem is that I am now just coming of age with the unix system and
know virtually nothing of how to build a device driver for it...this will
be my first major task using a unix op sys.

I am looking for (1) help with generic driver information; (2) examples of 
device drivers; or (3) references in which building device drivers are
outlined...

Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone point me to device drivers for a 1.44 MB, 3.5" disk drive and a
VGA monitor for SCO Xenix 286 v2.2.1?

I have a few applications I need to install, but they're on 1.44 MB disks and
I can't get them in a different format.

Please reply by e-mail.

Thanks!
