The device drivers 559 utilize a communication protocol of some type that enable communication with a particular physical device. The device driver abstracts the hardware implementation of a device. For example, a device driver may be written for each type of card reader that may be potentially connected to the gaming machine. Examples of communication protocols used to implement the device drivers 559 include Netplex 560, USB 565, Serial 570, Ethernet 575, Firewire 585, I/O debouncer 590, direct memory map, serial, PCI 580 or parallel. Netplex is a proprietary IGT standard while the others are open standards. For example, USB is a standard serial communication methodology used in the personal computer industry. USB Communication protocol standards are determined by the USB-IF, Portland, Oreg., “www.usb.org.”
