I need to find out how similar the device drivers for UNIX and Linux are. Say a driver is written for a peripheral connected to a pentium machine running AT&T UNIX System V release. What changes in general will be required to make it work for the exact same hardware configuration but with Linux running on it. Thank You, Malik
