Has any thought been given to providing wrappers for these driver (or
even other MS-DOS drivers). Seems like it would save an aweful lot or
reinvention of the wheel. The kernel could trap all hardware access
and do it on behalf of the driver, for example. Timing might be a
problem, so I'm not sure how feasible this idea is.
