Operating systems provide a supervision of the input/output devices that are connected to a computer system. They do this by incorporating specialised input/output routines for the various types of devices. Device drivers accompany operating systems and enable a computer system to be configured for specific hardware. Most hardware peripheral devices have their own device drivers which need to be installed for the operating system to communicate with these devices. Example: The MS-DOS file config.sys configures the device drivers. |
