Abstract
In this paper the interfacing of a CAMAC system to a PDP-11/45 running UNIX version 7 is described. The main emphasis of the paper is to describe the CAMAC device driver for UNIX and to illustrate the advantages of programming the driver in the high level language C as compared with programming in assembler. It is assumed that the readership is primarily from a hardware background, and therefore we summarize some of the background and history of the UNIX system.
