Installing Hardware Options, Hot-Pluggable
The device driver interface specification defines how device drivers communicate
with the SCO UnixWare operating system. The SCO UnixWare DDI-8 and other
device driver interfaces are enhanced to provide the functions for adding or removing
driver instances and suspending or resuming operation in conjunction with hot-plug
operations.
