The following driver is a patched version of the original Community OFA NVMe Storport Miniport driver. You should install the latest storport hotfix KB943545 from Microsoft. This hotfix contains driver version 5.2.3790.4173 of storport.sys. After this hotfix is applied you can install the NVMe driver as usual. My tests have been done with a Samsung M2 SSD Evo 960 500 GB.

The Rockbox project produces an open source firmware replacement for portable Digital Music Players, currently supporting Archos, iriver and iPod models with more platforms being worked on.

These tools are used to view information about, and to control, Media Changer devices such as Tape and DVD/CD libraries.

Identify sizes of memory modules installed on a Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD or HP-UX workstation or server. memconf reports the size of each SIMM/DIMM memory module installed in a system. It also reports the system type and any empty memory sockets. In verbose mode, it also reports the following information if available: - banner name, model and CPU/system frequencies - address range and bank numbers for each module

EQ Track purpose is to provide amateur telescope makers (ATM) with electronic board schematics and embedded software to control their telescope mount via stepping motors. EQ Track comes in different "flavors" : - "Basic" controls the right ascension and declination motors of an equatorial mount. - "Go To" controls the motors of a mount in any orientation (ie. equatorial, altazimuth, alt-alt), to point and track equatorial coordinates.

MMC/SDSC/SDHC/SDXC SPI based card driver with an easy to use HAL.

Clicker is a project for a Multitasking Open-source operating system written from scratch. based on a modular micro kernel. We want to explore new way of designing and using OSes :) [newz: PCI, NE2K and VBE]

Access Point Utilites for Unix - it's a set of utilites to configure and monitor Wireless Access Points under Unix using SNMP protocol. Utilites knownly compiles and run under Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, MacOS-X, AIX, QNX.

Embedded PowerPC Bootloader Project, especially for Embedded PowerPC boards. The code for this project is frozen. Development continues with the "U-Boot" project (Universal Boot Loader, see http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot ).

Parallel Events and Asynchronous tasKing Library. Originally combining multi-threading with an efficient I/O event model, it's now more a lightweight object-oriented framework for event-based applications.

Streamd for IBM i is a suite of tools for IBM i (previously known as AS/400 and iSeries) that can significantly improve performance characteristics of batch processes. Due to extensive use of parallel programming techniques Streams for IBM i delivers significant performance improvements for single streamed batch jobs. Streams for IBM i can split an existing batch process into a number of concurrent streams, completely eliminate backup-related delays, introduce new robust recovery policies and even modify the program logic of existing applications - all without any code modifications. Streams for IBM i includes a feature allowing manipulations of batch job QTEMP libraries.

This little utility monitors the health of your Windows software RAID. It's based on Java, but can easily be called periodically from Windows task scheduler, and/or at system startup (configuration and batch file is included). WinRaidMonitor can send emails to a specified email address (supports SSL connections to SMTP server and user/password authentication).

Omega48 is a virtual printer driver for Microsoft Windows which allows you to convert the document to the graphics formats such as EMF, BMP and non formated text file (UNICODE or ANSI). Omega48 allows to save MS Windows Spool (SPL) and Shadow (SHD) files

The AMD-V Optimization Driver is a Windows device driver that improves the performance of legacy 32-bit Windows OSs running on AMD-V virtual machines. There is now a supported version of this driver located on AMD's website.

A driver for old scanner and modern Windows systems. Currently supported: Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, Windows 7. All systems are 32-bit only. For more info look an the project homepage.

XMK is a preemptive multitasking kernel for microcontrollers. Its goal is to provide a RTOS small enough (RAM+ROM) to run on 8bit microcontrollers. XMK provides additional/optional features when scaling up to 16bit and 32bit platforms.

TTF-GDOS is a GDOS replacement that uses true type fonts as well as gem fonts. It is small, fast & efficient and can easily be used without a hard drive. It also incorporates features roughly equivalent to font-GDOS: - a caching system so you can use more fonts for a given amount of memory, - built in bezier functions This release includes ttf2gem, a utility program that creates accurate gem fonts from a true type font (new for 2.3) Using true type fonts gives you 3 big benefits: - you can choose from a vast range of true type fonts - true type fonts are scalable so you can have almost any size font you want - true type fonts need much less disk storage than typical gem printer fonts, so even on a low spec machine you can use lots of fonts. Gem fonts and true type fonts complement each other perfectly - gem fonts are small and fast, while true type fonts are device and resolution independent so are scalable to any point size at any resolution.

CP/M Plus on ZX Spectrum +3 has ability to load device drivers from normal disk files (with .fid extension) on boot. One of the most important devices for any disk operating system is the mass storage drive. Although ZXMMC device is available on the market for years and it works well with +3e firmware, partitions created on MMC cards could not be accessed from CP/M world. At some point it became so frustrating, I decided to write FID driver for it. It's not perfect, but it works surprisingly well. For list of limitations, build instructions and more details see the source code file.

OpenSandra.NET is a WMI application designed to scan and report hardware information e.g Motherboard,CPU,Network and installed software . Built along the lines of Sisoft Sandra and Fresh Diagnose it will also support benchmarking. REQUIRES .NET FRAMEWORK
