Announcement
Dear OS/2 Device Driver Developer,

A new OS/2 Device Driver Development Kit (DDK) is available on CD-ROM. The DDK is designed to help experienced device driver developers produce device drivers for OS/2 2.1.

This DDK, which replaces previously distributed Display and SCSI Device Adaptation Kits, is a release of over 50MB of full function source code, build tools, test tools, and on-line documentation for several OS/2 2.1 device drivers. It includes source code for PM display drivers, virtual video drivers, base video handlers, printer, DASD, SCSI, CD-ROM, and mouse drivers. Source code for WIN-OS/2 seamless display drivers is available separately.

Sections I and II of the application provide or confirm information needed to process your order and subsequently support your use of the DDK. If you are developing video drivers and you require the WIN-OS/2 seamless supplement, please complete Section III which requests certification of your license to Microsoft Windows DDK's. Section IV contains method of payment options.

When you receive your copy of the DDK or the DDK plus supplement, it will include a separate license(s) governing your use of the program materials. If you do not agree with any of the license terms, you should promptly return all materials to IBM.

Support for the DDK will be provided via a Bulletin Board Service. Details of how to access the Bulletin Board Service will be given with your shipment of the DDK. We look forward to hearing from you and continuing to support your OS/2 device driver development activity.

Regards,

OS/2 DDK Program Administrator
