From the publisher

Every device (mice, keyboards, sound systems etc) that is connected to a computer running NT requires a 'driver' to be build that enables the device to interact with the operating system. While Microsoft continues to develop new driver technologies like USB (low bandwidth serial bus) and 1394 (high bandwidth serial bus) that replace some aspects of the hardware required for device drivers and other technologies like WDM that update the software protocols for device driven, the fundamentals of driver technology has not changed and will not with the release of NT 5. Developers must know and understand the fundamentals to be able to apply the more advanced aspects that will emerge with NT 5. This book addresses the fundamentals of driver development.
