Win 98 SE- Driver Loading

NTDEV
1

The INF file I used for loading my virtual com port driver is given below.
The installation is ‘success’. Device Manager shows that the device is
working. I used the Win 2K WDM Virtual COM Port driver binary. I monitored
the installation using SoftIce, with setting break points in DriverEntry &
AddDevice. But I could not see any break points reaching there.

What is wrong here…? Please help me …!

Thanks in advance.

Hi !

Correct me if I wrong, but as far as I know, there is no way to implement
virtual serial ports in Win98 using WDM.
I think you should write VCOMM portdriver VxD to manage virtual COM ports.
I can send you skeleton of serial portdriver in C++ if you want.
