I guess this book is a good one and only for its kind, especially for the layered device drivers. But there was something missing while reading the book. I have read this book to prgram a VSD for a special device. Even though author assumes the readers should have knowldge of SDK, I wish the author had provided the enough information and sample codes. The block device driver examples were not satisfactory to apply in the real world, and I have to find out myself how to do many times.

I'm trying to write a VxD to make Card Services available to 32 bit applications. It's my first attempt at writing a VxD for Windows 95. This book really got me up and going in a very short time. So if you're like me and about to write a VxD for the first time then GET THIS BOOK, it's invaluable.

This is the best book I have seen on the subject of VxDs. I was able to get my VxD up and running in less than a week. Great reference and useful source code.

This is an excellent expostion of the Win32 operating system from a system programmers perspective. The author takes the approach of exposing the operating system by delving into the mysterious realm of VxD device drivers. This is an important and I think well considered approach. By descibing 32 bit device drivers development two important goals are met in this book. First the Win95 core OS is well descibed and second, the products of the exposition with the example code provide usefull starting tools. The style is readable and in some parts intertaining given the subject. I bought a second copy of the book knowing that whoever borrows it won't be returning it.

Thank you for many weaks of dusty macroassembling that you spent. I begun my work 3 weeks ago from skratch on 95. DDK is ... you are absolutely right!!! Now I'd hope to minimize my work and so catch some time for "white" system work. Andrey. SounDesignS . Israel. 972-4-9986399. Once more thank You
