4.0 out of 5 stars Good basic introduction on drivers for windows 95., 17 Dec 1998
By A Customer
I sure wish I'd had this book when I started out writing drivers, it would have saved me a ton of time and grief. I too, wish there were more information on specific driver types, such as soundcards, but that stuff is in the DDK anyway, once you know what to look for -- and this book will tell you that, and a lot quicker and better than the DDK will. Any of the other required tools will tell you how to install or load a VXD, so I don't consider that a big problem. I could wish that this book also covered Windows NT, but was extemely glad for the plug and play coverage, which other information sources obfuscate badly. Good information on windows innards, useful to an overall understanding.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful but frustrating, 14 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This book is a good overview of Windows 95 VxDs. However, it was EXTREMELY frustrating to use as a guide or tutorial while actually writing a VxD.

There are a large number of errors in both the samples and the descriptions of interfaces. I don't know how such glaring errors could have been published.

4.0 out of 5 stars Necessary for VxD beginner, good for all, 23 April 1998
By A Customer
This book is necessary if you are new to VxDs, easy to read from cover to cover. I recommend it.


It has good examples for experienced VxD programmers. Other books are needed for someone writing advanced VxDs.


Warning: I found both obvious and subtle errors in some of the examples. They don't all compile and work without changes.
