The UDI (Uniform Driver Interface) specification allows device drivers to be run across multiple computing platforms and operating systems without modification. UDI supports today's key I/O technologies and is designed with an extensible architecture that can easily accommodate new I/O technologies and products in the future.
With the publication of version 0.90, the UDI Specification is functionally complete for storage and networking adapters and is ready for broad public review prior to publication of the 1.0 specification. The two-month review period extends from March 31, 1999 through May 31, 1999. The UDI 0.90 Specification is available in PDF format from http://www.sco.com/UDI/specs.html and review comments on the specification may be submitted to the same location.
Project UDI is a multi-company open development group dedicated to developing standardized device driver interfaces for the computer I/O technologies of today and tomorrow.
