Hello everyone,
I have a WDM driver for a legacy ISA board. The board is jumper-configured,
has 16 possible IO port ranges and 15 possible interrupts (+ ‘no interrupt’
configuration) - which makes 256 possible configuratsions. Currently I’m
listing all available configurations in ‘LogConfig’ sections of the .inf
file, but the .inf handles properly only ~40 configurations - when there are
more, system displays only the first one.
How to enable the user to select any of the 256 configs available? Possibly
without listing them all in the .inf file?
Best regards,
Rafal Gwizdala
Reduce the possiblies to a more realistic number. Not all IRQs are avaialble
for use because they belong to the system and are not avaialble. Same goes
with IO port ranges. It boils down to, assign that port and IRQ and you may
not get it, best case, or you may get it and look at a BSOD, worse case.

Thanks, this is the idea i’m starting to adopt - but I hoped there is an
easier possibility. Limiting the list to only reasonable IRQs and IOs
results in about a hundred configs, so I still have a problem choosing the
ones to be thrown away.

Break out the magic marker and simply say … this is what you get.
