By far the best public reference on device drivers for System V/386 is the 
Integrated Software Development Guide written by AT&T and published by 
AT&T and Bell Tech.  This is targeted for System V/386 Release 3.2.  Your 
best bet is to call the AT&T 800 number for documentation and order with 
a credit card.  We include the volume in our Software Development Set 
documentation volumes.  Since it is licensed AT&T material associated with
the operating system we can't sell it as a separate volume, but AT&T can.

This book includes a sample source code floppy disk driver plus lots of 
other useful information.  Despite the 3.2 targeting, it should be very
useful for Microport and Interactive.
