- Sub: DRVR installation
-
- (This isn't really a C++-specific question, but since I'm writing *all* this
- stuff in C++ I hope no-one objects too much!)
-
- I've got working INIT and DRVR shells now, written entirely in C++ and easily
- extensible by the creation of derived classes. It's just *wonderful*.
-
- Is there an accepted (ie safe) way of grabbing a Unit Table entry for a driver
- that is {i} being installed by an INIT and {ii} not to be found in the System
- File or a slot ROM. I don't want my DRVR to have to be a DA in the System File.
- I don't want to choose an un-used entry only to get trashed later by some other
- device. Is there an accepted range of Unit Table entries I can scan? I know
- that the SCSI install process scans *drives* but it's the unit table I'm
- interested in. IM-V and TN-108 don't really help.
-
- (End of question.)
-
- Regards, Paul
