- There is a new book out call 'Writing OS/2 2.0 Device Drivers in C' by
- Steven J. Mastrianni. The ISBN is 442-011415.
-
- There are also some helpful sources in older books such as Westwater's
- 'Writing OS/2 Device Drivers' (not really that great but has some useful
- info), Ray Duncan's 'Advanced OS/2 Programming', Nguyen and Moskal's
- 'Advanced Programmer's Guide to OS/2' and there may be a few others.
-
- I have the latter books but have yet to acquire Mastrianni's work - it is
- supposed to be okay.
-
- Hope this helps.
-
- You may try and get a look at the list of redbooks from IBM as there may
- be some good information on writing device drivers from them. The
- redbooks are generally indispensible once you have them.
