Windows 98 SE driver

NTDEV
1

Hi All,

I am going to write a diagnostic driver for a PCI card on a Windows 98 SE platform.
It would just read the PCI space of the card and send it back to the application
(thru’ private IOCTLS).

My question is, Should I go for a WDM driver model?

Thanks in advance
Nitin

good question. A vxd device you can load and unload at runtime without
any problems. For a WDM driver you need a installation and for a
normal NT kernel driver you need a reboot after installation.

WDM and normal NT driver you can use for Windows 2000/XP too.

So use a WDM driver.
