ABSTRACT

The IBM Device Driver Source Kit for OS/2 (R) (DDK) on CD-ROM media contains:

  • IBM's latest release of OS/2 device driver source code
  • Build and test tools for several device drivers
  • Online documentation.

Customers licensing the product will receive future, generally available releases to the product, if any, for one year from the ordering date.

Several device drivers for OS/2 have been developed and are supplied in this kit. The working source code is far more than a foundation and will enable rapid development of new device drivers.

Additional sources and enhancements will be included in subsequent releases of the IBM Device Driver Source Kit for OS/2 as they become available.

Operating Environment: DDK requires OS/2 2.0 with Servicepak (XR06055) or OS/2 2.1. The device drivers contained within this product are for versions of OS/2 2.0, or later.

One-Time Charge: $499.

Availability Date: May 25, 1993.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

LICENSING: The program in this announcement is licensed under the terms and conditions of the IBM License Agreement for the IBM Device Driver Source Kit Version 1.0 for OS/2. A copy of the agreement is included in the program package.

LIMITED WARRANTY: Program: No. Media: Three months.

PROGRAM SERVICES: Developer support is available to all licensee's of the IBM Device Driver Source Kit for OS/2. Developer support (technical assistance) encompasses DDK usage and many aspects of device driver development in general. Developers are expected to have device driver development experience or be willing to invest the time necessary to work through most of their own questions and problems. Developer support is not intended to provide an education service. It is intended, however, to answer specific questions after the device driver developer has made a reasonable effort to obtain an answer using available information.

Central Service is not available for this product, but developers are encouraged to use the IBM Driver Development Support Center (DDSC) System to obtain support by sending their questions and reviewing the question and answer history database, which can be easily downloaded for review offline.

Developers interested in using the DDSC System should dial (via modem) 407-982-3217 to register and to access the support system. To obtain a briefing of the services available, developers can call 407-982-4239.

Support for a specific release of the DDK will be available until 30 days after the release of the subsequent DDK. General device driver support will be available until discontinued by IBM upon three months' written notification on the DDSC System.

Additional support is available depending on the licensee's geography and participation in certain IBM programs (for example, the OS/2 Developer Assistance Program (DAP)).

TESTING PERIOD: None; 30-day money-back guarantee applies.
