Under which circumstances is it necessary to write a new device driver
when I have to support a new device ?
Possibly, this question has to consider 2 cases:
1. Is it possible in GEOS to access a new device (e.g. a yet unsupported
type of
PCMCIA card) without writing a device driver ?
If yes, under which circumstances is this possible ?
2. When is it possible to utilize an existing device driver for support
of new device
which is similar to some already supported device.
I assume that the answer to this question is more complex, but has a
- general part, and
- a device class specific part
If so I would be interested to learn about the general part, and the
specific part for
PCMCIA cards.
