Not really.  The code is your best reference, although you should be sure 
to ask around here for help/advice, since there are plenty of people that 
can help you.

Writing Drivers

2000-10-09 Thread Christopher F. Moran

This is probably a dumb question, but here goes.

I want to write a driver for some custom hardware we use here.  I've done
this Windows NT and (earlier) MS-DOS, so the concept doesn't scare me.

What I need is a starting point.  Besides trawling through the code, are
there any standard references or texts I could check out?

Thanks,
