Mark, thanks for your response but here's what I've found. In order for my
WDM driver to install with the proper configuration for our ISA card in
Windows 2000 is to specify FORCECONFIG for the ConfigPriority value in the
INF's LogConfig section. This is undocumented--or should I say very poorly
documented. The FORCECONFIG value is mentioned in the FactDef section
documentation but not for LogConfig. It turns out, despite what many have
written, that the FactDef section has little if any discernible affect, at
least in this case. Microsoft should correct this in the MSDN and DDK
documentation.
