Lines: 23 I will be attempting to port a 4.1 BSD device driver to run on our 4.3 BSD system. The system is a VAX 11/785. The device is a National Instruments GPIB 11-2 (General Purpose Interface Board) for the Unibus. The interface supports DMA transfers and is IEEE-488 compliant. If anyone has undergone a similar undertaking, I would appreciate any pointers. From looking at the errors from my compile listing, it appears the return values are passed differently in the 4.1 implementation.
