About a year ago, somebody posted code to allow dynamically-loaded UNIX device
drivers for a vax 780 running 4.3.  Does anybody know where I could get that
code now?

In particular, I want to be able to dynamically load the interrupt routine of
a particular device driver.  We presently need to compile the particular
driver, link it into the kernel, and reboot the machine, and we'd really like
to eliminate the link/reboot steps.  We are currently controlling our various
running and hopping robots with this technique of compile/link/reboot on a
vax 785 with 4.3.

Thanks all!			Mike Chepponis (Michael.Chepponis@c.cs.cmu.edu)
