Revision 1.1
Hardware Support Fileformat
Published 5th of January 1999
by Lasse Krogh Thygesen
Purpose
This document describes the format for the hardware support files. These files will contain the code used to drive hardware components and/or handle interrupt requests from hardware components. The hardware support files can theoretically contain an unlimited number of drivers, ie. for multifunction adapters, but the number has been limited to 256. To put more than 256 drivers into one file would only make the file too big and complex. It will be recommended to use only one file per hardware component. Drivers for multifunction hardware may contain more drivers.
