  • A miniport driver for a non-SCSI storage adapter (see SCSI Miniport Drivers)

  • A class driver for a new type of peripheral device (see Storage Class Drivers)

  • An operating system-independent tape miniclass driver for a vendor-specific tape device (see Tape Drivers)

  • A changer miniclass driver for a vendor-specific medium changer device (see Changer Drivers)

  • A filter driver for a peripheral device of a type that already has a class driver (see Storage Filter Drivers)
