By default, the DEVS drawer is hidden, as it does not have an
icon. Therefore, the only way to access it is via the CLI. It
stores the keymaps, device, and the printer drivers.
DEVICE DRIVERS
Device drivers are files that tell the Amiga how to recognise and
use particular hardware, such as the Serial port. This allows it to
communicate with the outside world.
KEYMAPS
Keymaps are preference files that contain particular keyboard
layout for each country. By default, the Amiga is set to the
American keymap. This is one of the most common problems that new
Amiga users have, as they find that some symbols, such as the
character (shift-2), instead displays a @ character.
PRINTER DRIVERS
Printer drivers are designed to get the Amiga to print directly to
the selected type of printer, improving quality and speed.
Therefore, an Epson printer driver should give brilliant results on
an Epson model. The problem is that the Amiga printer drivers and
devices are very old and slow, creating poor quality printouts.
