If you are so gung ho into programming (you must be if you want to write a driver), then you should be a member of APDA. It is only $20/year and you have access to all sorts of things that WILL NEVER be published such as GSBug software, rez, etc.. You can also get beta drafts (Even thought you should buy the actual ones when they come or Matt D will have your head). Here is the entry for the driver "NEW Apple IIgs GS/OS Device Driver Reference Apple Computer, Inc. Class 1 * Describes how to write GS/OS device drivers * Describes how to make device-specific calls for existing GS/OS drivers This reference describes the GS/OS application interface to device drivers and describes all device-specific calls. It contains detailed descriptions of how to interact with the following GS/OS drivers: the SCSI driver, the AppleDisk 3.5 driver, the UniDisk 3.5 driver, the AppleDisk 5.25 driver, AppleTalk drivers, and GS/OS generated drivers. This reference also shows how to design and write drivers for hardware devices you may want to use with the AppleIIgs. This reference replaces the beta draft of GS/OS Reference, Vol 2. Purchasers of that interim draft should also buy the GS/OS Device Driver Reference to ensure they have the latest technical information available to them. (Approx 300 pages) A0008LL/C $35.00 " Well, there you have it. You must be an APDA member to purchase it.
