WinDriver is the leading driver development toolkit, designed to enable you to create high performance PCI / CompactPCI / USB / ISA / ISA PnP / EISA / PMC based device drivers for Windows 9x/Me, NT/NT Embedded, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Windows CE, Linux, Solaris and VxWorks. Create your own VxD / SYS driver in days. No Kernel or DDK knowledge needed.

See how easy it is to develop your driver using the WinDriver wizard.

Why should I use WinDriver?
	Cost - Cut up to 90% of your development time on all your driver projects.
	Stability - WinDriver is field tested on thousands of HW / OS configurations.
	Performance - Achieve optimal kernel mode performance via WinDriver's KPI.
	Portability - Your driver will run on any supported operating system. Just recompile!
	Setting standards - Same driver API and development environment in any OS / Platform / IDE / Programming language.

WinDriver's architecture enables you to create your hardware access application, without having to write a kernel mode device driver! -- All your hardware access is done in your application, through the WinDriver interface, while maintaining kernel mode performance.

WinDriver features a unique graphical Wizard, for hardware diagnostics and automatic code generation.

Hardware access applications you create with WinDriver will run on Windows Server 2003, XP, Me, 95, 98, NT/2000, Windows CE,Linux, Solaris and VxWorks.

Use WinDriver's Kernel PlugIn to develop your driver in the User Mode - then run performance critical sections of it in the Kernel Mode (Ring 0) thus achieve Optimal Performance. (more)

Use WinDriver to write drivers for all common PC buses including PCI/ Compact PCI / USB/ ISA/ ISA PnP/ EISA/ PMC. No need to use several different tools and learn new APIs to access different types of Buses.

Use any Win32 compiler including MSDEV Visual C/C++, Borland, Delphi and others.

"...I must tell you I am very happy with the capabilities of WinDriver.

Strong customer base:

"WinDriver does live up to its promise. It only took me about a day to develop the driver, and two more to develop a nice API, for our PCI-based data capture card."
Eric Ruck
