Sure do.  All you have to do is plunk down your $500 for your Windows
Developer's Kit, another $400 (or whatever) for your MS-C compiler, ask
Microsoft for the nondisclosure agreement to get a Device Driver Kit, send
it back in, and you'll get back some docs and about 8 disks full of sample
device driver sources.  This is sufficient to write a device driver for either
a screen or a printer.  It doesn't help you if you're trying to write an
ethernet device driver like I am.
