I recently responded to a question asking for information on writing
device drivers by suggesting some AT&T publications. Over 30 people
have since posted me with a request for the AT&T 800 number to use.
Here it is:
To order AT&T documents, call their Customer Information Center at
800-432-6600. They take VISA and are very responsive. The material
you should order is:
UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 Integrated Software Development Guide (ISDG)
and the
UNIX System V/386 Release 3, Block and Character Interface, Device Driver
Reference Manual, Select Code 307-192.
You are crazy to work on device driver sources without these two books.
The ISDG in particular is one of the very best UNIX books ever written.
It not only includes sources to floppy disk and other device drivers, it
also provides a complete framework for installation scripts and other
vital stuff.
Even though this is targeted at UNIX 3.2, it should be useful to all working
in current releases of Microport, 386/ix, and SCO.
We reprint the ISDG with the manual set for UNIX 3.2.
Enjoy!
