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.
