There are only two types: software and firmware. A software device driver is a program written for a particular operating system to support a particular piece of hardware. A firmware device driver is also software, but it is etched onto a memory chip (ROM) or a programmable chip (PROM or EPROM). The BIOS and CMOS are examples of firmware drivers, both used to initially boot the system and load the operating system.
