1) Decide for which OS you are giong to write the driver
2) whether User space or kernel space
3) If user space it is easy
4) if you are writing Kernel space driver then you should know the Inside out of the Kernel at-least The API kernel exports
5) Gather some tutorial( You said you have it good)

If you have all the above then you can directly jump into the development of driver.
If you really want to do some (mis)adventure and have spare time can I ask you some favour for writing a ATA driver for my small OS nano-os
 

yes, i would like to write the driver. But now i even don't know abc of device driver writing.
Whenever I took some material for reading i feel it is incomplete.

i can arrange a compiler. Lets say, I wanted to write driver for Linux then what compiler is required.
