There is a new book out call 'Writing OS/2 2.0 Device Drivers in C' by 
Steven J. Mastrianni.  The ISBN is 442-011415.

There are also some helpful sources in older books such as Westwater's 
'Writing OS/2 Device Drivers' (not really that great but has some useful 
info), Ray Duncan's 'Advanced OS/2 Programming', Nguyen and Moskal's 
'Advanced Programmer's Guide to OS/2' and there may be a few others.

I have the latter books but have yet to acquire Mastrianni's work - it is 
supposed to be okay.

Hope this helps.

You may try and get a look at the list of redbooks from IBM as there may 
be some good information on writing device drivers from them.  The 
redbooks are generally indispensible once you have them.

Regards,

 Barry
