As part of my research into writing a realtime operating system for a 80386
programmable communications controller, i'm now looking into the different
approaches taken to implement device drivers.

At the moment i'm looking at UNIX (yuck!!).

If anyone out there has some info that will save me some time (and work!)
i would be grateful.

Has anyone implemented a form of STREAMS in a realtime OS ?
