It is very hard to obtain Solaris or AIX source code, and even if I
could obtain it, posting the driver code probably wouldn't be legal.
I had no other recourse for checking how the I/O works but to inspect
an actual disk driver. That is, after all, the best way of checking
how things work. Having in mind how different from Unix Linux is, I'm
sure that Unix drivers employ completely different principles altogether
(wink).
