OS/2 2.x Industrial controller programming - Course OS2DD307
  Enabling realtime hardware programming interfaces

Objective
======================
   To expedite industrial controller development by reviewing the
techniques used to enable applications to utilize custom hardware (HW).
   This class will identify the protocol on how to communicate with the
HW using IOPL apps or device drivers.  Installation and debug
techniques will also be covered.

Target audience
======================
IBM or IHV programmers who code device drivers for...
   a.  Custom I/O interfaces (A/D, D/A, etc)
   b.  Bus type: ISA, EISA, VLB, or MCA.

Attendee prerequisites
======================
   a. Programming expertise: C and/or MASM
   b. Have written other device drivers for IHV hardware
         DOS, ROM BIOS code, utilities
   c. Intimate knowledge of IHV hardware & programming protocol
   d. Purchased development software (OS/2 2.1, DDK, MSC 6.0, MASM 5.1)
   e. Helpful to be familiar with OS/2 Applications development.
