SUMMARY
Windows 95 multimedia MCI device drivers must be 16-bit drivers. The
Windows 95 MCI architecture ensures compatibility with MCI drivers written
for previous versions of the Windows operating system. 32-bit MCI drivers
are not supported under Windows 95. A 16-bit MCI driver may, however, thunk
to a 32-bit DLL.
REFERENCES
See the Windows 95 DDK for more information on Windows 95 multimedia MCI
device drivers. See the Win32 SDK for more information on thunking.
