+# Device controller and driver
+driver Defn:  a special kernel module that contrls the operations of a device with the device specific information
+controller Defn: a hardware unit on a device that can know and control a devices status or behaviour, which communicates with the CPU via a driver

+# Types of IO devices
+- character stream vs block
+- swqeuential vs random access
+- synchronous vs async
+- sharable or dedicated
+
+OS provides a consistent interface for them in the `/dev` folder (unix systems). e.g., ramdisk device is name `/dev/memdrv`. each device has a file under `/dev` that can be handled with file operations read()/write()
+
+## block devices
+commands (sent from device driver to device controller)
+- read block
+- write block
+- seek block (for random access block devices)
+
+the sequence of read/write requests can (should) be optimized
+
+## character devices
+- commands
+	- get char
+	- put char
+
+also support buffering (accepting keyboard input line by line) and editing of buffers (e.g., spcial treatement of backspace character)
+
+# IO models
+
+IO system calls use different IO models
+- blocking - when a proccess needs IO input it waits to recieve it before c
+- non blocking
+- async
+
+# IO scheduling and buffering
+
+# UI for IO devices
