Give? Some of us are trying to make a living doing this and I’ve got a
mortgage payment due.

Is this only for your personal use or for your company? What do you want
this virtual SCSI miniport to do? Will it function as a RAMDISK, or layer on
top of a bus driver that controls hardware? Will have SCSI Target
operations or function only as an Initiator?

Dear glittle:
I think I should say sorry to you. Actually,I want to say
that can anyone give a simple virtual scsi miniport driver sample.
I am a student, I want to implement an iSCSI initiator in Windows.
my English is poor £º£©

Ok …

So this is going to be a bit more than a simple little virtual SCSI miniport
that functions as a RAMDISK.

I have submitted a white paper on virtual SCSI miniports for inclusion in
the 2003 WinHEC CD. Whether it will or will not be included in the CD is up
to the review committee. The gest of the paper is that such a virtual
miniport, while not impossible, is difficult at best and unreliable at most,
most likely will be sensitive to service pack changes. Your best way of
doing an iSCSI driver is to write a standard SCSI miniport where the
hardware is controlled by the SCSIPORT/miniport port pair and export a
private interface that the IP layer may use. You will still need a few
cheats and tweaks and possibly a standard NTDDK “left-edge” in the SCSI
miniport.

You will find several SCSI miniport samples in WinDDK. None of them are
virtual miniports, since Microsoft does not support virtual miniports in
either SCSIPORT or STORPORT.
