Well these are some questions I tried to ask to comp.os.research [moderated] though they posted it, it was just a post with no replies, which means there seems to be not many from research community visiting that group
anyway, here are questions, if you know any pointers let me know.

Aditya.
p.s. I have copy of AST's Design & Impl of OS. So other suggestions / pointers welcome.

Hi there,

Thank you, for reading this mail and in advance to one who possibly answers my questions.

I am developing my kernel for x86, getting ready some device specific code blocks ready (Init, TSS etc, basic drivers like KB etc). I am planning to get these things ready, then with the help of command that I can get during this process, I will use it along with my knowledge of Operating system theory. I am interested in developing Micro-kernel only.

1.How to keep design for micro kernel? I will appreciate any specific link or book, than general OS architecture books.
2.How device driver programming structure should be developed? Possibility of using device drivers from existing OS kernels? Say I am planning my device drivers in PL 1/2
3.Getting some good real-time functionality in OS, through good
architecture. (this is since, I am planning to develop micro kernel)

Any other good general explanation or information or ideas are
welcome.

Regards,
Aditya.
