aren't windows device drivers still written in assembly? Assembly is free. I'm talking about older drivers not just newer ones. I can get an old pc and write them for windows 3.1 or something. Or linux if I learn the OS finally. And as far as I know driver writting was farely common in the past. When I first got internet access assembly was still written in as normal practice to learn to program thoroughly. And learning to write a driver was one of the top things listed to always learn to do.

I'm looking for really old stuff too..... I don't need anything modern. That used to always be free.

I figured you had a forum on programming you would enjoy talking about programming. I was hoping the find the old gunho attitude that was always the basis of the programing community.
