- I'm trying to put the finishing touches on a loadable driver for
- Sun 4.1.2. on SPARCstations (Yes I know you can make a career of
- maintaining drivers) What I would like to know is the best method
- of having the driver determine if it (or some other driver) was
- already installed for that deivce. For now I cross my fingers and
- if the system crashes the answer was yes. Is this something that
- can be done easily? Is there a flag in a system structure that yields
- this data or is a bit more complicated than that?
-
- Please answer by email as we do not get this newsgroup at this
- location.
-
- Thanks in advance.
