For Amiga Unix, you probably want the Amiga Hardware Ref.  'Libraries and Devices'
would more than likely not do an Amiga Unix person much good, as they relate to
AmigaDos/Exec instead of the hardware goodies that Rob wants.  What kind of
arbitration of the hardware is done under Unix?  The reason I ask is because
I am sure that most of the same restrictions apply under Unix as under AmigaDos.
(ie: no banging the hardware if the System owns it)
