There's always the standard "Writing System V/3.2 Device Drivers" that
should be available from your O/S vendor, and the AT&T "Block and
Character Interface: Programmers Reference & Guide".  (I have them at
home if anyone want's the PEC or Select-Code numbers.)

I also have two books specifically about kernel innards and writing
device drivers (also at home), and notes from a tutorial about writing
drivers.
