[comp.unix.xenix] Xenix ver2.0 device-driver help

shrimali@cwruecmp.UUCP (08/10/87)

I would be grateful if somebody could provide some information
regarding writing a memory-mapped device driver for XENIX ver
2.0. I had successfully written one for version 1.0 which
apparently does not work well with 2.0. I have a call to
mmudesc() to have the segment descriptor corresponding to the
physical memory mapped as read/write data. I am suspecting this
as the culprit function as I have no documentation on it.
The rest of it looks kosher to me as it is in the same spirit of
the sample examples provided (this hasn't changed between versions).
Is there a way of choosing a global descriptor which can be used for this
purpose and not to conflict with other entries?
Thanks in anticipation.
