Hi,
I am developing a NDIS miniport driver on Windows 2000. I would like
to know if there is any binary compatibility between Windows 98 SE and
Windows 2000. I guess 98 SE supports NDIS 5.0. I am not sure if 98 SE
supports NDIS miniport with WDM lower edge interface. Can anyone let me know
things that are common between Windows 98 SE and Windows 2000? Does Windows
ME too have binary compatibility with Windows 2000?
Thanks & Regards,
S.Balaji

Yes, there is compatibility between 98/98SE/Me/2000/and probably XP for
NDIS miniports with WDM lower edge. However, there are NDIS functions
which exist in 2000 that don’t in 98/Me, and even some that exist in both
but only work in 2000, so be aware. The best thing to do is develop on
2000 as you are and port to 98/Me. Run DriverVerifier frequently, it
catches a lot of otherwise hard to track down errors. You might try out
Walter Oney’s fabulous WDMCHECK utility which will tell you if you have
unsupported calls in your driver for 98 or ME. You have to run this utility
on the desired target OS. It is available here: www.oneysoft.com. HTH.
