It was jointly developed by Microsoft and 3Com Corporation and is mostly used in Microsoft Windows.However, the open-source NDISwrapper and Project Evil driver wrapper projects allow many NDIS-compliant NICs to be used with Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD.
Miniport is a type of device driver in Microsoft Windows that implements hardware-specific or function-specific subset of the full driver stack. [1] Examples include: NDIS Miniport
As NDISwrapper relies on Windows drivers; it only supports i386 and x86_64 architectures. [5] NDISwrapper does not implement NDIS 6 (Windows Vista version) yet, limiting drivers to Windows XP. [6] As of October 2013, a code branch at the project site has been under development since 2006, [7] but a feature request from 2009 has been left ...
The Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS) is a Microsoft proprietary protocol used mostly on top of USB. [1] It provides a virtual Ethernet link to most versions of the Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD operating systems. Multiple revisions of a partial RNDIS specification are available from Microsoft, but Windows implementations have ...
NDIS may refer to: National Disability Insurance Scheme, Australian disability support service scheme; National DNA Index System, an American interstate DNA database; Network Driver Interface Specification, computer application programming interface for network interface cards; NDISwrapper, software application
Adaptec also developed generic SCSI disk and CD-ROM drivers for DOS (ASPICD.SYS and ASPIDISK.SYS). [3]: 60–61 At least a couple of other programming interfaces for SCSI device drivers competed with ASPI in the early 1990s, including CAM (Common Access Method), developed by Apple; and Layered Device Driver Architecture, developed by Microsoft.
Network device drivers for Windows XP use NDIS 5.x and may work with subsequent Windows operating systems, but for performance reasons network device drivers should implement NDIS 6.0 or higher. [8] Similarly, WDDM is the driver model for Windows Vista and up, which replaces XPDM used in graphics drivers.
Typically a device driver, linked to the operating system, controls the host adapter itself. In a typical parallel SCSI subsystem, each device has assigned to it a unique numerical ID. As a rule, the host adapter appears as SCSI ID 7, which gives it the highest priority on the SCSI bus (priority descends as the SCSI ID descends; on a 16-bit or ...
