Generating a driver without DDK,...

Hi,

i have a situation here which is really true. I have a
old laptop, running windows 2000 professional
and there is no space left for the DDK from Microsoft.
I want to write and test some (simple, monolithic)
drivers, targeting 2000/XP/Vista which handle a
special device over USB. So the situation is that
i dont have a lot of space for ddk on my machine
and i am looking for a way to write a driver, compile
it into a native image and all this WITHOUT the
MS DDK. Is there such a way, a minimal package
of compilers, headers, not bigger than 200 MB?
I already have livekd and WinDbg here, but no compiler
so far and no environment. The environment should
be as small as possible and the compiler should
be capable of inline assembly. Is something like this
available somewhere?


I am not kidding, i really have no space left
here on the machine. This may sound funny
but this is really the situation.

Regards

Kerem
