The `books' file on the comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc archive contains a rather long list of IBM PC reference books (and mini-reviews from net.people). Selected extracts: @book{td:dos, author = "Terry R. Dettman", title = "{DOS} Programmer's Reference" publisher = "Que", address = {Carmel, IN}, year = 1988, price = "$23", ISBN = "0-88022-327-8" } "Lists almost any interrupt a guy could want." [In response to a question about writing a device driver] "I recommend reading chapter 12." -- Neal A. Belair (nab@sppy00.UUCP) @book{rd:dos, author = "Ray Duncan", title = "Advanced {MS-DOS} Programming", publisher = {Microsoft Press} price = "$25", } "I strongly recommend the Advanced DOS guide from Microsoft Press. It's very informative." "... very good if you are either writing in C or Assembly language. In section one, he covers many areas such as keyboard/mouse input, video display, printer and serial ports, file management, disk directories, memory management, interrupt handlers, device drivers, filters and compatibility. He discribes the concepts and gives source code (C and assembler) to be used as an example. In sections 2, 3 and 4 describes all the DOS function calls. He gives all inputs and outputs, and gives examples. There are also notes. These give you an idea of what and how DOS does things as well as things to watch out for. His second edition is current through DOS version 4.0." -- Mark Kallas (mkallas@digi.lonestar.org) @book{rl:device, author = "Robert S. Lai", title = "Writing {MS-DOS} Device Drivers", publisher = {Addison-Wesley}, ISBN = "0-201-13185-4", } "Lots of examples in assembly language." "Recommended highly." "Examples include Console, Printer, Clock, RAM Disk, and a `Complete Full-function Device Driver'. Chapter on debugging. Diskette available."

Swonk > Toshiba American Information Systems > uunet!toshais!swonk > 714-587-6475 Here's a book: Title: Writing DOS device drivers in C Authors: Philip M. Adams & Clovis L. Tondo Publisher: Prentice Hall Price: 29.99 The book is soft cover. If you have a compiler that supports the TINY model you should not have any problem. The book is designed as a tutorial and code abounds both for examples and practical applications. At the end you build a device driver step by step. This book came out last year. Good Luck!
