I have Bach from Prentice-Hall and I got the Device Driver Guide from AT&T by writing to the address in the _UNIX-PC Interface Specification_ book which came with the Development Set (pg 2-52). AT&T Information Systems Product Manager - UNIX-PC Enhancements Attn: Device Driver Information (Rm 6A45) 1776 On the Green Morristown, NJ 07960 However, I didn't get the kernal debugger disk. Anybody with a suggestion how to get a copy of that? We're looking forward to hear more from Michael and Alex. Thank you guys! BTW Is the Prentice-Hall book on UNIX Device Drivers worth while? -- Vernon C.
