Can someone explain just what a FOSSIL driver is?  Is this some kind of
TSR written in Assembly, or what?  I have seen mention of this before,
and never have figured out just what it referred to exactly. Are there
different kind of FOSSIL drivers?  Why the name FOSSIL?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!
