What are some references (besides the short intro in Bach) on how to use
these devices and what manuals pages are available?

I have Bach from Prentice-Hall and I got the Device Driver Guide from
AT&T by writing to the address in the _UNIX-PC Interface Specification_
book which came with the Development Set (pg 2-52).

		AT&T Information Systems
		Product Manager - UNIX-PC Enhancements
		Attn: Device Driver Information (Rm 6A45)
		1776 On the Green
		Morristown, NJ 07960

However, I didn't get the kernal debugger disk.  Anybody with a
suggestion how to get a copy of that?

We're looking forward to hear more from Michael and Alex.  Thank you guys!

BTW  Is the Prentice-Hall book on UNIX Device Drivers worth while?
