A guide to the techniques, tools, methods, and pitfalls of building device drivers for Windows NT 4.0. Coverage focuses on drivers for polled, programmed I/O, interrupt-driven, and DMA devices. The authors discuss the components of a kernel mode device driver, with background on two primary bus interfaces currently used: the ISA and PCI buses. They also explain the mechanics of compilation and linking, how the drivers register themselves with the system, mapping device memory or kernel memory into user space, and techniques for debugging.
