The DOS Technical Reference manual the IBM sells (at hiway robbery prices!)
has all the information necessary to write device drivers.  Included on the
DOS 3.x Supplement disk is a commented source listing of VDISK.SYS (IBM's Ram
disk program).  This is a good reference for how to actually write one.
