- Microsoft Windows NT Device Driver Developers Conference
-
- Monday, October 26 to Wednesday, October 28, 1992
- Anaheim, California
-
- Location: Disneyland Hotel
- Anaheim, California
- Telephone: (714) 956-6425
-
- Sponsor: Microsoft Corporation
-
- The purpose of this conference is to provide information and understanding
- on the model to support various devices, such as displays, printers,
- network adapters, SCSI peripherals, audio products, and more, under
- Windows NT. The presentations will discuss the entire structure and design
- of Windows NT as it relates to developing drivers to support various
- devices. The pre-liminary Windows NT Device Driver Kit is included with
- registration of this event and includes sample source code for many
- drivers, testing and debugging tools (the Win32 Software Development Kit
- is required for actual device driver development and is not included with
- registration)
-
- At the Windows NT Device Driver Developers Conference, the developers and
- designers of Windows NT will present details on various components of the
- operating system like the Windows NT Kernel and the I/O Subsystem and how
- they impact device drivers. Further, you'll have numerous opportunities to
- discover technical "how-tos" and the latest development tips for a broad
- range of devices including:
-
- * Printers * Communication devices
- * Keyboards * Mouse/Pointing devices
- * Display adapters * Audio
- * Network adapters * SCSI devices
- * 3270 adapters * Fax
- * Scanners * and other devices
-
- This is a great opportunity to hear directly from key developers,
- including David Cutler, Architect and Director of Windows NT Development.
-
- And, so that you can be among the first to have your hardware take
- advantage of this powerful operating system, we'll give you a free copy of
- the preliminary Windows NT Device Driver Kit (DDK) and successive updates
- include the final version, a $500 value.
-
- Windows NT's architecture provides a 32-bit device driver model with great
- functionality, security, and portability across different hardware
- platforms - Intel, MIPS, and DEC Alpha. Imagine how users could benefit,
- and you could profit, from your hardware products running under the
- Windows NT operating system on not only the huge installed base of PCs but
- on workstations using high performance RISC processors or multi-processor
- systems. This hardware support will enable PCs to meet the increasing
- end-user demands for varied functionality such as fast, high resolution
- graphics and integrated networking.
-
- Some of the speakers are the same as those who presented at the Win32 PDC
- in San Francisco, but all of the talks at this conference will be focused
- on hardware support and the particular needs of device driver writers. The
- second and third day will be made up of more than 35 breakout and general
- sessions containing completely new material focused on the specific issues
- of the devices listed above.
-
- To order a preliminary Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows
- NT, please contact (800) 227-4679 for specific details. The preliminary
- Win32 SDK has a retail price of $69 for a CD only option, and $399 for an
- option including the CD and hard copy documentation. These prices include
- follow on updates to this product including the final release.
