Hello

You can use 'WinDriver-device driver development kit' (from KRFTech) to
write a device driver. WinDriver enables you to quickly develop high
performance drivers for based devices. Using WinDriver developers can
create drivers without having to use the DDK (Microsoft Driver
Development Kit), and without any Operating system knowledge.

The driver you write is portable among major operating systems
(including Win9X, nt/2000, Windows ce, Linux, Solaris, VxWorks).
Therefore you will have to write your driver only once (instead of
writing two separate drivers for Win9x and for Win NT).

WinDriver includes the "Driver Wizard", which tests the hardware
through a Windows interface and automatically generates the driver
source code for the hardware device.

WinDriver provides user-mode APIs to your hardware, which you can call
from within your application. Debugging the driver is then done with
standard application-level debugging tools (such as MS Visual Studio
and Borland Builder).

After developing the driver, and debugging it in the user-mode, the
WinDriver Kernel PlugIn (also included) enables the developer to 'drop'
the user-mode code into the kernel, for optimal performance.

WinDriver also includes the WinDriver Monitor, the Driver Wizard, and
other tools for the driver development process.

You can find more information about WinDriver in KRFTech web site
