doubt in PCI driver for Win98

NTDEV
1

Hi,
I am writing a PCI driver for windows 98. I have planned to do it with WDM. Once I create my device object, can I attach it to the device stack just as in Win2000. How should I get my resources? Should I get it from HAL or should I get it from the Bus driver.(???) Any pointers regarding PCI implementation in Windows 98 would be appreciated.

Thanks
Dinesh

What kind of device is this? In most cases, a WDM driver that works in
2K will work just fine in 98 without any changes at all. There are a few
incompatibilities that you can work around as described in various
places in my WDM book.

WDM on PCI is 99% the same in w2k and Win98. For instance, 1394BUS and
OHCI1394 binaries from w2k beta worked fine on Win98.

For a list of subtle differences, try the Walter’s book, where they
are specifically noted.
