Actually 0..* should probably be 1...*. Or perhaps you could simply
use * at the end of each end with a note on the bottom indicating this
is a many to many relationship - or something longer and less technical
like: <br>
<br>
Each component in the AT Layer can be related to one or more of the
components in the Operating System Layer.<br>
<br>
I just also realized that you need at least one more box on the OS
Layer side, i.e. for OS Device Subsystem, e.g. for video, keyboard,
mouse.<br>

The diagram is in pretty good shape - though Joanmarie has a lot of
good comments. The primary thing that struck me was the incorrectness
of the thin lines between AT Layer and Operating System Layer. Perhaps
you could put something like a } symbol (rotated two different ways) on
each end of the many to many relationship - or use UML's 0..* at each
end of a single thin line.<br>
