Please explain this to me - I have had a lot of experience in OS design, and would like you, who obviously from you remarks, have extensive OS design knowledge, point out to me how a HAL makes an OS inherintly more stable than a system that writes its drivers for a particular peice of hardware, without pretence it will cope with differetn pieces of hardware? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
