That sounds like you are asking about device driver software.
The device drivers allow the operating system to communicate with peripheral devices.
A device driver.
Device management controls peripheral devices by sending them commands in their own proprietary language. The software routine that knows how to deal with each device is called a "driver," and the OS requires drivers for the peripherals attached to the computer. When a new peripheral is added, that device's driver is installed into the operating system

The device drivers allow the operating system to communicate with peripheral devices.
A device driver.
A peripheral is a device attached to a host computer, but not part of it.Some common peripheral devices are keyboards, printers, computer monitors
POST (power-on self-test)
system software
NO. A computer port is a hardware or virtual device (software) that allows data to pass from one area to another of the PC's hardware and/or software environment. The Periphial device is usually a hardware device the needs to interface with the appropriate port in order to send, receive or interact with the PC and other devices attached to the PC. An example would be somthime like a USB (universal serial bus) external hardive attached to a USB port in order to read and write data.
A peripheral is a device connected to a computer, but not part of it. Examples would be a printer, keyboard, etc. Software is therefore not a peripheral device, but is an essential internal utility on a par with the motherboard, processor, and so on.
they are called pheripherals.
peripheral devices
A special piece of system software called a device driver.
Device management controls peripheral devices by sending them commands in their own proprietary language. The software routine that knows how to deal with each device is called a "driver," and the OS requires drivers for the peripherals attached to the computer. When a new peripheral is added, that device's driver is installed into the operating system
A printer, scanner and copier are classed as peripheral devices. Like the monitor, keyboard and mouse, they are not part of the main computer system, being devices attached by cable or wi-fi to the computer's motherboard and system from the outside.
