Re: A journey from NT-Device Driver to WDM

>If you don't understand that code first, how will you ever develop a working driver?
No thats not the case! I don't have any problems as far as syntax and
code path is concern. I'm still confused about my hardware design? The
question is do i have to upgrade my hardware too for writing a PnP
driver? I mean it is working fine with NT Driver [Non PnP].
1) Do i have to upgrade my hardware in sense of interrupt generation
because i'm not sure how kernel will discover that now PowerCell [my
device] is connected to DB-25 port instead of ordinary printer? and its
time to load my WDM driver and vice versa when removed.
