Sorry Rich, but you missed a few. Here's the exact list: "Porting UNIX to the 386: A Practical Approach" (feature series) by Jolitz and Jolitz 1/91: DDJ "Designing a Software Specification" 2/91: DDJ "Three Initial PC Utilities" 3/91: DDJ "The Standalone System" 4/91: DDJ "Copyright, Copyleft, and Competitive Advantage" 4/91: DDJ "Language Tools Cross-Support" 5/91: DDJ "The Initial Root Filesystem" 6/91: Unix Magazin "Portierung von BSD-UNIX auf den 80386. Heimlich Liebe." 6/91: DDJ "Research and the Commercial Sector: Where Does BSD Fit In?" 7/91: UNIX Magazin "Steighilfe." 7/91: DDJ "A Stripped-Down Kernel" 8/91: UNIX Magazin "Systemverwaltung durch Tabellen" 8/91: DDJ "The Basic Kernel" 9/91: UNIX Magazin "Sicher bewegen auf fremdem Terrain" 9/91: DDJ "Multiprogramming and Multiprocessing, Part I" 10/91: UNIX Magazin "Damit die Fehlersuche nicht zum Hurdenspringen wird" 10/91: DDJ "Multiprogramming and Multiprocessing, Part II" 11/91: UNIX Magazin "Alles in eine Schublade" 11/91: DDJ "Device Autoconfiguration" 12/91: UNIX Magazin "Feuer und Wasser" 1/92: UNIX Magazin "Rekursives Speicher-Mapping" 2/92: UNIX Magazin "Tanz auf dem Eis" 2/92: DDJ "UNIX Device Drivers, Part I" 3/92: UNIX Magazin "Aus Hanschen wird Hans" 3/92: DDJ "UNIX Device Drivers, Part II" 4/92: UNIX Magazin "Das Geheimnis des Multiprogramming" 4/92: DDJ "UNIX Device Drivers, Part III" 5/92: UNIX Magazin "Zeitmanagement scheibenweise" 5/92: DDJ "Missing Pieces, Part I" 6/92: UNIX Magazin "Magie des Kernels" 6/92: DDJ "Missing Pieces, Part II" 7/92: UNIX Magazin "Erkenne Dich Selbst" 7/92: DDJ "The Final Step: Running Light with 386BSD" 9/92: UNIX Magazin "Niemand is eine Insel" 10/92: UNIX Magazin "Treiberlatein" 12/92: UNIX Magazin "Einlandung erforderlich" NOTE: The series in UNIX Magazin will be moved to IX Magazin as of 1/93. In addition, other major articles which discuss 386BSD in detail: 8/92: UNIX Magazin "Interview mit Bill Jolitz. Das passiert mit 386BSD" by Jurgen Fey 8/92: DDJ "Very High-Speed Networking" by W.F. Jolitz 12/92: DDJ "Inside the ISO-9660 Filesystem Format" by Jolitz and Jolitz You can contact M&T Books for reprints if you can't get them from your technical library: 1-800-356-2002 (inside CA) 1-800-533-4372 (North America) 1-415-358-9500 (international) >Other books and references: > >Crawford and Gelsinger. "Programming the 80386." Sybex, 1987. >IBM. "Technical Reference Guide Personal Computer AT." 19??. Excellent text for 386-specific information. I also suggest that people check out the suggested references in the INSTALL.NOTES file. They're the ones we use all the time. Also, two important references are: "POSIX 1003.1: IEEE Standard Portable Operating System Interface for Computer Environments", IEEE 1988. ISBN 1-55937-003-3. "The Intel 386 Architecture and System V BCS" for an understanding of defined interfaces. Lynne.
