No.
For my device on microcontroller.

				But in general on PureBasic possible to write the driver?

				You want to compile file Driver.SYS?

				I am pretty sure that PB will not allow you to create such a program; at least not for a kernel mode driver. Just about all PB programs are tied to the underlying OS api's and thus sit way above the kernel.
Of course Vista allows for user-mode drivers which may suit your needs. Creating one of these requires that you create an in-process COM server, something which I am finding is really quite easy with Purebasic - at least it is once you've read a couple of COM related books!  
 
The point, however, is that you will probably be better off looking at using C (or asm) for creating any kind of driver, be it a kernel-mode or one of the new user-mode drivers.

				Driver.sys not possible with PB. you must use assembler or c.
