Pay a visit to local Barnes and Noble - they have a plenty of books on the topic. One of them is "Writing Device Drivers in C" by Philip. M Adams. There's also ( pretty rudimentary) book on writing the same things for SCO Unix ( vanilla SVR3). Intall the "sys" source code on your FreeBSD machine and take a dig - this could be best way to go ( FreeBSD comes with FULL source code which is also free :) > > Please send the reply to Mannan_Mohammed@ccm.ch.intel.com > > Thanks. > > Mannan. > PS: BTW, I just ordered the CD for FreeBSD.
