I might have this.  I have the Apple II Pascal 1.2
Device and Interrupt Support Tools Manual.  It has
about 110 pages and chapters include:
1. Introduction to Device Drivers
2. Writing a Device Driver
3. Attaching a Device Driver
4. Interrupt Management
5. Special BIOS Considerations
A. Sample Code for a Device Driver
B. Sample Code for an Interrupt-Based Driver
C. Information Contained in ATTACH.DATA
D. Peripheral Card Firmware Protocols
E. Drivers for the Standard Pascal System Devices
F. IORESULT Codes

I do not have the Attach Tools disk that goes with
this manual.  The manual says these files are on it:
SYSTEM.ATTACH, ATTACHUD.CODE, ADMERG.CODE,
CONVAD.CODE, SHOWAD.CODE, and IM.CODE.
