Re: [OT] MmMapLockedPagesSpecifyCache: Execption under Server2003-32

Hi Zvi,

Hope you won’t take offense, but… everyone can write code.
But making it work (and debug when it doesn’t) requires time
and experience.
Watching someone who knows this stuff is very
helpful and efficient way to learn. This is why I advice a consultant.

Hi Pavel,

You are right. I’m not a WDF specialist.
But I already wrote 2 device drivers that work great.
All drivers are based on Plx9x5x supplied with DDK.
WDF is designed so that also “regular” people will be able to write
kernel drivers.

Thanks,
Zvika

Unless some of them are stripped.
But I tend to agree with Daniel: the bug is somewhere else in handling
of the ioctl.

Zvi, please, find a local consultant. There are dozens of knowledgeable
driver devs in radius of 30 km from you. Many of them also have the
clearance.
