I recently responded to a question asking for information on writing device drivers by suggesting some AT&T publications. Over 30 people have since posted me with a request for the AT&T 800 number to use. Here it is: To order AT&T documents, call their Customer Information Center at 800-432-6600. They take VISA and are very responsive. The material you should order is: UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 Integrated Software Development Guide (ISDG) and the UNIX System V/386 Release 3, Block and Character Interface, Device Driver Reference Manual, Select Code 307-192. You are crazy to work on device driver sources without these two books. The ISDG in particular is one of the very best UNIX books ever written. It not only includes sources to floppy disk and other device drivers, it also provides a complete framework for installation scripts and other vital stuff. Even though this is targeted at UNIX 3.2, it should be useful to all working in current releases of Microport, 386/ix, and SCO. We reprint the ISDG with the manual set for UNIX 3.2.
