Question on porting the USB driver from Windows 2000 to Windows 98
Posted by Matthew Zhang on October 12th, 2004


Hoi,
I have a USB driver like this(quoted from the driver user guide, a little
bit complicated):
---------------------------------------------------------------
The USB host driver runs on Windows 2000 and Windows XP platforms. It
simulates two types of legacy functions or devices over USB: modem and serial
port. The driver accepts the following:
* Single-function device – includes the USB modem and the simulated legacy
serial port device
* Composite device – consists of a logical modem and a logical serial port
device

Although the driver is designed to work with the device compliant to USB CDC
1.1 Abstract Control Model (ACM), it accepts standard USB CDC ACM descriptors
as well as AAA vendor-specific descriptors. (here, AAA stands for the company
name)
---------------------------------------------------------------

Do you think it can be ported to Windows 98 SE without major changes(e.g.,
have to change the driver model from WDM to VxD)?

If yes, modify the existing driver source code so that it could be compiled
under 98DDK successfully, or use Walter Oney's WDMSTUB technique?
which method is possible and easier?

Good Day~~
