I'd be pretty interested in learning how to write device drivers for *any* OS at this point. I've take a few passes at drivers for things in the past in Plan 9, unsuccessfully, then always seemed to get very busy at work and had to put stuff like that aside.

Not that I wrote any driver since long ago, but I'm interested.

I'd be pretty interested in learning how to write device drivers for *any* OS at this point.  I've take a few passes at drivers for things in the past in Plan 9, unsuccessfully, then always seemed to get very busy at work and had to put stuff like that aside.  (I looked at OHCI USB drivers for Plan 9 at one point, but never got very far with it...)

I think a lot of my problem was not understanding the kernel's structures, and the right way to do things.
