Features: This book primarily introduces the principles and programming methods of developing VxD drivers for non-standard devices (referring to self-developed devices, such as data acquisition cards) under Windows 95/98/Me using VtoolsD. The book provides a detailed explanation of the basic concepts of VxD, VxD programs, communication between VxD and Win32 applications, as well as functions and class libraries for VxD to access hardware devices, handle hardware interrupts, implement DMA operations, and complete Plug and Play (PnP) functionality. It also covers the use of VtoolsD development tools and how to use VtoolsD to develop VxD drivers for PCI devices under Windows.
■ The book also introduces the principles and programming methods of developing WDM drivers under Windows 98/NT/2000 using DriverWorks.
■ The book includes numerous programming examples and comes with a companion CD containing all the source code of the examples for readers to learn and master.
■ This book is a highly technical tool and practical reference. It is suitable for computer application developers with a certain foundation in computer hardware and C++ as well as college and university students.
