Message-ID: <799@vsi.UUCP> Date: 17 Aug 88 20:13:05 GMT Followup-To: poster Distribution: comp Organization: V-Systems, Inc. -- Santa Ana, CA Lines: 44 Hi net.folks, AT&T has released a replacement for the old _3B2 Device Driver Manual_, and it is really wonderful. This two-volume set is very well written, extremely comprehensive, and generally pretty great. They are for System V Release 3, and while they include lots of info specific to the 3B2 family, I believe they are generally helpful for other Sys V machines as well. Combined size is about 2.5 inches, and is available from AT&T; here is the ordering info: UNIX System V, Release 3 Block and Character Interface (BCI) 307-191 Driver Development Guide (very good, 1.75" thick) 307-192 Driver Reference Manual (more terse but comprehensive) The better news is that the pricing is "low" on these items due to what must be a bug in the system. The pair is a little under $8, postpaid, so I'd jump on this quickly if I were you before the price goes up (I have *my* four sets). Call the AT&T Customer Information Center (CIC) at: USA +1 800 432 6600 Canada +1 800 255 1242 Other +1 317 352 8556 They take Visa, MasterCard, Amex, and probably a company purchase order if it's over some amount ($50, I think). Service is via U.S. Mail and is a little under 2 weeks. Note: these are still first draft, and they plan on adding new parts (SCSI, etc.) later, but this draft is very good. Go for it. Steve P.S. - These would make great Christmas gifts to that little UNIX wizard in your life :-) -- Steve Friedl V-Systems, Inc. +1 714 545 6442 3B2-kind-of-guy friedl@vsi.com {backbones}!vsi.com!friedl attmail!vsi!friedl -------Nancy Reagan on U.S. weather agencies: "Just say NOAA"------
