Don Burn,
Ok that was really good piece of information that i really wanted before i
start off understanding the sample drivers.
Thanx a lot.

Yeah my build environment is good and it does what it is suppose to do,
buil. But i guess i am going to have one more big trouble in the future,
debugging the driver. :-)

Regards,
