A while ago, Dimitri Rotow of Bell Technologies posted the following:

]I recently responded to a question asking for information on writing
]device drivers by suggesting some AT&T publications.  Over 30 people
]have since posted me with a request for the AT&T 800 number to use.  
]Here it is:

]To order AT&T documents, call their Customer Information Center at
]800-432-6600.  They take VISA and are very responsive.   The material
]you should order is:
]
]UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 Integrated Software Development Guide (ISDG)
]
]and the 
]
]UNIX System V/386 Release 3, Block and Character Interface, Device Driver
]Reference Manual, Select Code 307-192.

]You are crazy to work on device driver sources without these two books.
]The ISDG in particular is one of the very best UNIX books ever written.
]It not only includes sources to floppy disk and other device drivers, it

]Even though this is targeted at UNIX 3.2, it should be useful to all working

]We reprint the ISDG with the manual set for UNIX 3.2.

I finally got around to try ordering these two manuals and called the
800 number.  The Device Driver Reference Manual was easy with the
select code, but they could not find the ISDG from the above title
(and missing a select code).  I called Bell Tech for a select code,
but they couldn't find one on their documentation.  (They suggested
I buy their version of V3.2...)  I sent email to Dimitri Rotow but
never got a reply back.

Does the Integrated Software Design Guide exist as an AT&T publication
available for sale separately?  Does anyone know a select code
to use for this ISDG?

Thanks alot,
