I have several related questions about device drivers for SUN O/S: o Does SUN sell the source for their device drivers? o Do they have any device driver development kits? o How do third-party suppliers get the source to support specialized peripherals for SUN? Cheers, Paul Perlmutter

The closest thing that I can think of is a SBus Developers Kit which provides 2 or 3 sample device drivers (on a diskette), a Writing SBus Device Driver Manual, Open Boot PROM documentation and the SBus Specification. Every thing on needs to build a SBus card, device driver and supporting firmwear. For further information on how to obtain the SBus Developer's Kit contact the Sun SBus Hotline 415-336-2892 (the kit will cost you $85). This kit is targeted at SBus board level, driver developers and firmwear for Sun SPARCstation Desktop machines (SS1, SS1+, SS2, SS-IPC). For futher information on soruce contact your local Sun Sales dude or dudette. -jeffz-
