Drivers

The following is a description of a driver, its purpose and functionality. Drivers are device drivers targeted for specific hardware devices. A driver typically consists of an information file (.inf), the actual driver (.sys) and a digital signature (.cat). When drivers are uploaded to the solution, it is recommended that you only upload the necessary files.
