  not bad ... definitely dated as it uses a parallel port as an
example, and deprecated register_chrdev() for device registration.
but not bad.

  what i'm after these days is more up-to-date and much more *focused*
tutorials if people run across them.  as in, rather than another
example of how to write a character driver, i'm collecting writeups
like this:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-tasklets/index.html

that is, a solid coverage of a single topic in some detail,
particularly if it can tie back into code taken from the kernel.

  anyway, off to write more tutorials.
