I'd like to write a ramdisk and/or an encrypted filesystem for the
NeXT (at first).  I assume there are two options open to me:  write
block and raw devices or write a filesystem.  I assume that writing
devices is easier.

I have the book "The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX
Operating System".  The problem arises because this book doesn't
have enough detail or examples.  Are there any examples that I can
use out there?  Are there better books?
