[comp.windows.ms] device driver under MS-Windows: Help needed

fischer@isaak.uucp (Frank Fischer) (09/07/89)

Hello !

We are looking for a way controlling MS-Windows running on a PC
from the serial port (COM1) without original keyboard or mouse.
It must be possible to emulate some special keystrokes (for example Alt+F4)
with a single byte coming from the serial port and of course the 'normal'
ASCII keystrokes

The only proper and secure way seems to write a device driver.
But this is a difficult topic.

Anyone already solved that problem ?

Are there any really good books on the market about writing device
drivers on a PC-AT 286 ?

Please E-Mail.

Thanks in advance
