I should like to write a device driver for a high resolution (720x400) 
video board that I have been given but, although I have done C and 
assembly language programming before, I have not done any device driver
programming. I am interested in interfacing it to the popular programs
like Autocad, dBASE III+, Lotus 1-2-3 etc. Can anyone who has done this 
sort of thing give any hints about what pitfalls to avoid as well as
recommending any good books on the subject? A cursory browse through the
PC section of the popular bookstores around here (San Francisco Bay 
Area) has not revealed much. Am I taking on too troublesome a task?

Thanks in advance,
