Folks,
I'm working with Kyle Owen to improve on his excellent SerialDisk server.
One thing has puzzled me - the reason for system vs. non-system device handlers in OS8. I know the technical differences, but would like to know why you'd use one over the other. If you had a system handler that worked for all your devices, would you also need the non-system one? The non-system one seems redundant.
Sorry if this is in the DEC literature. If it is, please point me to it and I will RTFM.
Cheers,
Crawford
