When approaching study of Win32 platform and Windows AVI format, I found this very interesting article:

http://www.jmcgowan.com/avitech.html#WDM

which says that Win32 Driver Model @32bit (aka WDM) was introduced to replace old Win16 Virtual Device Driver @16 bit (aka VxD) since Win95 and that driver was designed to fully support that platform.

Elsewhere I read that companies preferred going on developing vxd drivers instead of wdm only because it was simpler.

So, my questions:

1) isn't possible to have a unified wdm driver for pulsar?
2) 2000/XP driver should be a wdm one (am I wrong?), why shouldn't it work on WinME?


Fede

Question 1 : Yes, there is already a unified WDN driver. The differents .INF are for giving a different name in the registry to each specifics cards drivers, so it is human readable

Question 2 : Yes, the WDM should work the same in Win98

Ok, so:

Question 3) Did anybody try to install 2000/XP driver under Win98?

Fede

I didn't...
