	Device Driver Development at Software Technologies Group
		These device drivers were ported to both IA64 and AMD64 platforms, and the code tree was modified to build the binaries for the different platforms from a single set of source code.
		The updated driver also provides an interface to both insert keyboard and mouse data into the input data stream, and to suppress data coming from keyboards and mice attached to the system allowing an external application to control the keyboard and mice data passed on by the driver.
		The device driver was modified in such a way that it could auto-detect updated and legacy boards and handle both correctly from within a single driver.

	How Windows determines the most suitable device driver to install during Setup (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Plug and Play attempts to locate a compatible device driver by comparing the Plug and Play Identifications (IDs) of the hardware (returned by the device firmware or system BIOS at the time the device had been enumerated) with any matching Plug and Play IDs that are located in the.inf files.
		The device driver with the lowest rank is considered the most suitable possible match and is the device driver installed.
		Device driver ranks in the range of 0x0 to 0xfff are called "Hardware ID matches" because they match hardware ID to hardware ID. These ranks are also considered the most suitable matches and any other ranks are listed as "compatible" because there is at least one compatible ID in building the device driver rank.

	Linux Device Drivers, 2nd Edition: Chapter 1: An Introduction to Device Drivers
		Drivers of this sort not only work better for their end users, but also turn out to be easier to write and maintain as well.
		As a device driver writer, you should be aware of situations in which some types of device access could adversely affect the system as a whole, and should provide adequate controls.
		For example, device operations that affect global resources (such as setting an interrupt line) or that could affect other users (such as setting a default block size on a tape drive) are usually only available to sufficiently privileged users, and this check must be made in the driver itself.

	An approach to solving the "device driver crisis"
		Differing device driver layers between operating systems usually means that during driver development, the source code for the equivalent drivers on each operating system is either developed from scratch or code for a similar operating system is ported to the new operating system.
		Most computer users are affected by the Driver Crisis, since the functionality, stability and performance of their computer system is entirely dependent upon the availability and proper operation of the device driver for their specific hardware and operating system combination.
		To certify that the SciTech SNAP drivers are generating the correct output for a given set of input conditions, a sequence of complex stress tests are run on both the hardware device driver and a reference driver implemented entirely in software.

	UnixWorld Online: Tutorial Article No. 010 Write a Linux Hardware Device Driver
		Major device numbers are used by the Linux system to map I/O requests to the driver code, thereby deciding which device driver to execute, when a user reads from or writes to the special file.
		The device driver is responsible for transferring the d ata.
		For instance, the parallel (printer) device is the ``lp'' device, the floppies are the ``fd'' devices, and the SCSI disks are the ``sd'' devices.

		The C code for a driver is a collection of data and functions that define a kernel module.
		Whenever a 64-bit driver copies data between kernel space and user space, the driver must use the ddi_model_convert_from(9F) function to determine whether the data must be converted between 32-bit and 64-bit models.
		A self-identifying driver is a driver that can obtain all the property information it needs from the DDI property interfaces such as ddi_prop_get_int(9F) and ddi_prop_lookup(9F).

	Device Drivers
		Assuming that you need to write a ``real'' device driver, there are some things that you need to know regardless of what type of driver you are writing.
		TTY drivers are character devices that interface with the kernel's generic TTY support, and they require more than just a standard character device interface.
		I put up some (slightly outdated by now, but still worth reading, I think) notes for a talk I gave in May 1995 entitled Writing Linux Device Drivers, which is specifically oriented at character devices implemented as kernel runtime-loadable modules.

	PortTalk - A Windows NT/2000 I/O Port Device Driver
		The first solution is to write a device driver which runs in ring 0 (I/O privilege level 0) to access your I/O ports on your behalf.
		The device driver would then serialise the data and generate the handshake necessary in the programming of a PIC device.
		When running the usermode executable such as allowio.exe, it will check for the device driver and if it cannot be opened, it will install and start the driver for you.

		An author of the driver must issue a read from the same device to ensure that writes have occurred in the manner the author wanted it.
