Ok, this will depend on the chip you used on your device for USB.
Most of the chips comes with a SDK and drivers, so it's as simple as a

Of course, some chips have better SDK than others.

vxd were the virtual device drivers for windows up to 98/Me. Since 2000

Most of the blue screens in these times were bad VxD ;o)
