3.0 out of 5 stars Has some value, but could be a lot better, August 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Writing OS - 2 2.1 Device Drivers in Ck (Paperback)
This book is the only one of its kind, and if it had competition, it probably wouldn't do as well as it has. It does explain some of the basic topics of OS/2 driver programming, but more than half of the book is a straight copy from the DDK, which is available for a free download. It covers a wide range of driver types, but not in great depth. The biggest drawback is that it does not use the standard DevHelp library, so it doesn't conform to the DDK documentation....I recommend that if you use this book, you should cross-reference it with more modern discussions that can be found for free online. The good news is that even though it's several years old, all the information still applies, as there have been very few changes to the OS/2 driver model.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must have., May 4, 2000
This review is from: Writing OS - 2 2.1 Device Drivers in Ck (Paperback)
This book contains important information about OS/2s device driver architecture whos value cannot be calculated.

Writing OS/2 device drivers is a hairy proposition, this book provided important insights into how to do it efficently and elegantly.

The code provided was rock-solid and stable, shaving months off of our development effort.

Must have if you're on a serious time crunch.
