Hi Don, I did not get it. Where would you add the the disk filter -
above the class driver ? And where to add the third driver? And why
you call it the third, shouldn't it be the second driver - One filter
driver and One function (inspired form ramdisk example)? Do you mean
ataport/minport will go away and we will have new_filter_driver/
disk_driver/new_function_driver as the stack? Please confirm. Also
please note that I want OS to think there is just one device and not
two. Only my driver knows that underlying there are two physically
distinct devices of 2 types. And thank you very much for all your
help. I really appreciate that.
