|What you are asking for is a kernel emulation environment.
|
|It *is* possible... UnixWare has one for certian NetWare drivers.  I
|rememebr before I left Novell, Kurt Mahon had some NLM's running in
|a UnixWare kernel.  Might be OK for OracleWare, but would probably
|be a bit redundant for the NFS NLM or TCP/IP, etc.  8-).
|
|For network drivers, I'd suggest Novell server ODI binaries.  I can
|point you at mpst of the necessary documentation (an ftp site at
|Utah State University (usu.edu) if you become serious about actually
|writing something.  If you get Novell's driver develeopement kit,
|that will help as well, though it will only document the interfaces
|that an ODI driver may want, that's a lot.
|
|I'd suggest NDIS, too, though that's a bit harder.
|
|If we had kernel paging, I'd suggest Windows95 and WindowsNT VXD's.
|
|After all that, *then* I'd say go for SCO.  Since SCO bought (is buying?)
|USL from Novell, I expect all their drivers to change from SVR3 + SCO
|proprietary crap to SVR4 + SCO proprietary crap in the near future, so
|it might be a waste for a while.
