Need Help on Legacy Devices
Posted by DriverDeveloper on February 18th, 2005


Hi All,
I'm new to this Driver Development. Please can any one specify the
skeleton code for a Legacy Device driver without a device or where can
i find that.
Thanks in advance
Driver Developer

Look at the src\general\ioctl in the current DDK.

Hi Don,

Thanks for the information.But i didn't find that ioctl example in
DDK.Presently i'm using windows 2000 DDK.

Thank you
Driver Developer

Well, if possible use the latest DDK. The naming of the DDK has to do with
the version of the OS it was released with, not the OS version it was for.
In general you should use the latest DDK, since it has the best samples and
tools.

I no longer have the Win2k DDK on my system, but check in general there may
be sonething there.
In general you are creating a driver where you do not have the power, and
plug and play support, but instead create the device object and its symbolic
link in DriverEntry.

Be aware that Chris Cant's book averages at least one major error per page.
It is the worst book on drvier writing out there.
