- I attended the NT DDK conference in LA, I'm still awaiting the real
- beta release/docs of the DDK. You've probably heard this before, but
- "all I need to do is I/O to a few port locations". I've been pouring
- over the "simplest" DDK example, the parallel port driver (>100 pages
- of source!), I'm still mystified.
-
- I'd like to see a cookbook recipe for writing a *really* simple
- device driver, no interrupts. Perhaps all it would have to do is allow
- I/O access via ioctls. A VDD would then be grafted on top.
-
- PCs are a tough sell here in UNIX-drenched academia. My group needs to
- demo our custom hardware (currently running win31 & os/2) on NT to
- get a foot in.
