[comp.sys.sun] Need a Device Driver, source please

cowan@edsews.eds.com (Andy Cowan) (02/01/89)

I need a HP, or Sun device driver to drive Allen Bradley series KE & KS
PLC interface cards.

I have never written a device driver before, so even though I need a
specific driver, any driver source thats close would be appreciated.

Also, any clues to writting one (is there a formula?) would help.
