TITLE IBM DEVICE DRIVER SOURCE KIT FOR OS/2
ABSTRACT The IBM Device Driver Source Kit for OS/2 (R) (DDK) on CD-ROM
media contains:
o IBM's latest release of OS/2 device driver source code
o Build and test tools for several device drivers
o Online documentation.
Customers licensing the product will receive future, generally
available releases to the product, if any, for one year from the

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
LICENSING: The program in this announcement is licensed under the
terms and conditions of the IBM License Agreement for the IBM Device
Driver Source Kit Version 1.0 for OS/2. A copy of the agreement is
included in the program package.
LIMITED WARRANTY: Program: No. Media: Three months.
PROGRAM SERVICES: Developer support is available to all licensee's
of the IBM Device Driver Source Kit for OS/2.
Developer support (technical assistance) encompasses DDK usage
and many aspects of device driver development in general. Developers
are expected to have device driver development experience or be
willing to invest the time necessary to work through most of their
own questions and problems. Developer support is not intended to
provide an education service. It is intended, however, to answer
specific questions after the device driver developer has made a
reasonable effort to obtain an answer using available information.
Central Service is not available for this product, but
developers are encouraged to use the IBM Driver Development Support
Center (DDSC) System to obtain support by sending their questions and
reviewing the question and answer history database, which can be
easily downloaded for review offline.
Developers interested in using the DDSC System should dial
(via modem) 407-982-3217 to register and to access the support
system. To obtain a briefing of the services available, developers
can call 407-982-4239.
Support for a specific release of the DDK will be available
until 30 days after the release of the subsequent DDK. General
device driver support will be available until discontinued by IBM
upon three months' written notification on the DDSC System.
Additional support is available depending on the licensee's
geography and participation in certain IBM programs (for example, the
OS/2 Developer Assistance Program (DAP)).
TESTING PERIOD: None; 30-day money-back guarantee applies.
