DEVICE DRIVER FORMAT A device driver is a COM or EXE file that contains all of the code needed to control an add-in device. It has a special header to identify it as a device, define the strategy and interrupt entry points, and define its various attributes. NOTE: For device drivers the COM file must not use the ORG 100h. Since the driver does not use the program segment prefix, it is simply loaded without offset. Therefore the memory image file must have an origin of 0 (ORG 0 or no ORG statement). |
