There are also some good articles in Linux Magazine and Linux Journal on
writing device drivers.

And Borland's Kylix Developer suite comes with a good book with a whole

drivers in the PASCAL language. But Kylix is a RAD environment [ which
of course is probably useless for writing a device driver ;) ].
