- Joe,
-
- You need a copy of the I/O subsystems manuals (Vol i && 2) as well
- as a fairly solid knowledge of OS/2 in general. Its also does not
- hurt to know someone who has done it before. The documentation that
- you need is part of the OS/2 Technical Reference Library available from
- IBM. I could have the series title wrong, but you definately need I/O
- Subsystems Vol 1 and 2. A book on the 386 and 486 processors might be
- useful as well.
-
- Dave.
