Virtual SCSI miniport heads up

NTDEV
1

I just found the cause of a rather nasty BSOD on a virtual SCSI miniport
I’ve been involved with. Other people doing this kind of driver might want
to be sure they do testing on W2K with Media Player 7.1 installed. Be sure
the CD-R burning drivers Cdralw2k or Cdr4_2k are active, and you have
multiple virtual targets. The OS will deactivate these drivers if they
cause a BSOD on the first boot after Media Player is installed, so use
devicetree or something to check. I know of at least 3 virtual scsi
miniports that fail under this test, so think some of you might be
interested in seeing how your driver does.

These Adaptec/Roxio drivers are just plain buggy, for instance, the CD drive can be defunct after awakening from hibernate.
Better to use Nero which does not require these drivers.

Hi,

I guess this is the problem of the combination of virtual CD/DVD driver
and adaptec’s bright filters. Does not matter what way you’ve choosen to
deliver CDBs - SCSI miniport or SCSI port. I had the same problem (well,
almost) with monolithic SCSI port that emulated DVD.

And the funniest point here is that Roxio (and MS) claims it’s our problem.
