I am currently attempting to write an OS/2 character device driver. Not knowing much about the subject, I am getting most of my information from "Advanced OS/2 Programming" by Ray Duncan. I was wondering if anyone knew of other references that might be useful. I am particularly interested in seeing sample source code. Thank you, Phil Lodwick Management Graphics, Inc.

You might look at "Writing OS/2 Device Drivers", by Raymond Westwater, Addison Wesley 1989, ISBN 0-201-52234-9. It looks pretty good and includes some complete samples. I haven't actually tried implementing anything based on it however.
