Some Published VxD IDs
VxDs are Windows Virtual Device Drivers. A VxD runs at CPU privilege
level 0 and thus has access to protected-mode CPU operations.
The following list provides the VxD ID numbers that can be used in
INT 2fH 1684H (get device entry address) calls. Documentation on the API
services provided by VxDs can be hard to find (some info can be gleaned
from DDK source code files). In most cases, a fn number is passed in
AX and most VxDs support fn 0000H to mean "get installed state/query
version".
