How to call this
editI wonder know if it's better to call this concept with layer or notCallmejosh (talk) 13:31, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
It seems to me that hardware abstraction is a more general concept than the hardware abstraction layer in an operating system. Hardware abstraction can be provided to end users without being provided to application programmers -- this must have been the situation in early computers. It can be provided to application programmers without being provided to the operating system programmers -- this must have been the situation in early operating systems. The Hardware abstraction layer provides this abstraction in modern operating systems, for those who develop the OS. 216.254.172.1 (talk) 17:31, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
I think that a longer article with both these combined and a hardware software interface explanation would be the best solution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.238.22.3 (talk) 19:52, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Do not merge with Hardware abstraction layer. One is a concept, another a specific technology related to the OS kernel. If the merge proposal was to merge into Abstraction layer, I would have agreed. I propose closing this merge request, and opening a new one with the correct merge. Widefox (talk) 14:27, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
