Hi all,
Please excuse me if this is not the right forum to ask my question.
I would like to know more about writing device drivers for Unix,particularly Solaris 10.
excuse me if am being vague, but I have absolutely no idea about how i can start.
I did try to search for a beginners guide to this ,wasnt of much help.
Since am an absolute beginner, would like to know where i can find material on these, that i can start from the very basics of it. and how i need to proceed.
PS: Its just a longing that i have from the past few months and i want to give it a shot...
Thanks
