I'm not sure how much I can help here, but I'd start by doing some research on the basics for designing a driver within the environment it's intended for. If that is Windows XP, then look for that.

Next I would do research on the device that the driver is intended to manage. Understanding this will be critical in producing working driver software for it.

Be warned!
Writing device drivers is tricksy stuff and can often be extremely difficult to debug. If you're not confident you are very able then I would reconsider the idea.

Hi, I am configuring the same DB2 v8.1 JDBC universal driver (db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar) from DB2 SP5 fix pack under WSAD 5.1.x environment and WebSphere application Server 5.0.2 on Windows 2000 machines.
