Well, the section 9 man pages are pretty complete. The device driver stuff is actually pretty easily available. In fact, this instead of performance was supposed to be one of the main design goals for Solaris (and I know- I was part of that effort- Gawd, I'm *sorry*.....) There *is* a DDK- I can't remember the order number off the top of my head, but it has enough information to write SCSI target drivers, streams modules, pseudo drivers, etc. It misses several important items that have been added recently (64 bit clean drivers with a 32 bit user ABI) or power mode and/or the rather important DDI_SUSPEND functions for the E10K. There's always an option of hiring a consultant. -matt On Thu, 14 Oct 1999, Dan Seguin wrote: > > > Hi.
