Does Driver have to be WDM to work in W2K?

Just want to know if this is true.
Thanks.

No,

WDM is a subset of the Win2k NTDDK environment.

No, but it does work best in Win2K if it is WDM.

RE: [ntdev] Does Driver have to be WDM to work in W2K?I’d take exception to that statement. I agree that if a driver
can easily be written within the WDM subset, then it should.
But I have seen too many people ignore the rich Windows 2000
kernel service routine environment (particularily if you include
the IFS kit) and roll their own, because they think being WDM
is something they have to do.

The w2k’s driver model is a superset in WDM.
So, the driver must be either WDM or “extended WDM”.
