There's also a book out, "Writing a UNIX Device >Driver," Egan & Texiera (Wiley & Sons). I have the 1st ed, I read >someplace that the 2nd introduced errors without adding anything worth- >while. It has good general info but the specifics refer to a >defunct (?) 68000-based machine called a MASSCOMP. I have both editions. IMHO the 2nd is better then the 1st one.
