[comp.windows.ms] internal information about windows

fischer@isaak.uucp (Frank Fischer) (09/18/89)

I'm searching for any documentation about the internals of
Microsoft Windows. I'm especially interested in the Keyboard driver
and it's communication with the Windows Kernel.

Here a brief description of our problem:
We need to control Windows through COM1 for a special application.
The only way to redirect Window's Console seems to write a new Keyboard
driver, which is using COM1 for input. The Windows Development Kit
that we're using contains hardly information about the keyboard
driver, and the sources of windows are too expensive (I heard
something of 300,000 DM...).
Does anybody know anything about this problem or knows literature,
that provides information about this topic ?


Thanks in advance.
