Isn't the USB host controller driver a part of windows XP?
Don't try it, just do it!

If its builtin USB go to PC manufacturer's website or motherboard manufacturer's website and download the specific drivers. If its an addon PCI card check the chip name/model, go to the card manufacturer's website and download drivers.

How do bios drivers work?
I want to do some but don't know how?
Wich language should I use?
I know C++, C#, but only a little asm...
I want to simulate a keybord and a mouse with it.

Bios driver?? You mean a new firmware for the bios or what?
Don't try it, just do it!

I didn't know very much when I wrote that...
What I now know is that I want to do an
io kernerl drivers.
I want to do a keyboard driver but don't
know how...
I think need the Windows DDK...
I want to do it for win 95 and then I
need win 95 ddk but it doesn't exist...
I read that it did in one place but none
other.
Where can I find it?

i think you also need lots of studies on hardwares to do such things...
BIOS is not made by every one, it is made by the MotherBoards constructors !!!
and looking at your level, i'm quite sure you're not such an experienced engineer...

I've done some reasearch and I now know what I need to know.
The things I'll have to do is to do a driver that takes input from
an input and then put it in memmory.
Not to hard to do with a driver.
I realise I don't have to do a bios.

i hope so !  BIOS is there only to manage - let's say - the I/O of the mainbaord...

What do you need a keyboard driver for? There are keyboard driver for almost everything out there.
Don't try it, just do it!

|

NO, not for what I want to do...
I want to take input from the serial port and threat it as a keyboard.
I then need to do output to the serial port that looks like keyboard input.

Hmmm.... Problem solved - you can't get there from here. But there are more recent DDKs available, and if you're interested in learning how drivers work I'd recommend ordering them. Making hardware dance to your tune is fun, and the DDKs let you do that. The trick is to do so without making Windows crash, and that takes a lot of practice. Good hardware drivers are rare; rarer still are people who can write them. If this is a topic that really excites you, I encourage you to order the DDKs and experiment - become an expert! We need you!

I want to do that but I don't got much money and I got no experience of hardware programming.
Is windows 98 ddk compatible with windows 95?

I would assume so, with some exceptions. After all, Win95, 98, and Me are all the same code base and architectural model.

Thank you for explaining this. I'll try win98 ddk then.

Hello,
I am looking for some good hardware and software that could connect an electric guitar to a computer.
Has anyone tried the Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro sound card with the external hub? If not, do you have any suggestions for hardware that passes good sound quality to a piece of software?
As for software, the Cakewalk Sonar 4 Producer seems to have lots of features. Do you have any other suggestions for software?
Thanks for the help,
Mitch

You can't connect a guitar an a computer just like that. You could, but it will sound like crap.
You need a preamp. For best sound, mic a guitar cabinet with a Shure SM-57 microphone, run it through a mic preamp or a mixer that has mic pre and then go into the computer.
