The paper is by Chris Torek entitled "A New Framework for Device Support in Berkeley Unix" from Proceedings of the UKUUG, London, Summer 1990. The Google hits I'm getting in the proceedings suggest I'd like a copy of the full thing. Closest I've found is from 2005 or 2006 on archive.org... Nothing in the TUHS archives I was able to find.... This paper is referenced in Chris Torek's "Device Configuration in 4.4BSD" which only ever seemed to circulate in draft form. That I have a pdf of which I converted from a ps that was on NetBSD.org... Any chance I can get a copy of it? Or will I need to figure out inter-library loan again for the first time in almost 2 decades...

I tried to wrap my mind around TeX, but ended up learning PostScript instead :-) I tried to grok TeX (my then-PHB tried to force me to learn it), but ended up learning PostScript... It just worked. > And thank you so much Chris.... Indeed; he helped me with a SCSI ID problem back in ye olde BSD/OS days (BSDi), before WinDriver took over and trashed the joint for our customers. Did I mention that WinDriver pretty lost all of their customers to OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc? Sounds like my own clients once; we got borged by a Big Company in order to flog their own (inferior) product, and to my black heart's delight each and everyone one of them went to an opposing product. -- Dave ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
