Are you developing a miniport device driver
for IDE, SATA, SCSI, Fibre Channel, or virtual hardware?
We offer precision source code to 3 device driver
samples to
jump start your development putting you close to the finish line right
from the start.
Each sample is a self contained, fully functional device
driver that needs no hardware backend to run and thus can be installed on any
system. Each sample creates a virtual disk drive that is assigned a driver
letter and works
exactly like a real disk drive. Each sample supports plug and play, dynamic
load/unload, 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and can be easily installed
programmatically or through the Windows Add Hardware wizard. Each sample is a
precision tuned minimal set of clean, compliant, and well structured code.
Perfect
for virtual CD drives, software RAID, or devices with a network backend.
Your device code runs at PASSIVE_LEVEL
making it ideal to call any WDK functions.
Requests can be completed with
high performance
outside of scsiport context.
Provisions for overlapped request queuing
and fast, asynchronous backends.
Kernel level code to read, and write a disk file using asynchronous file i/o.
Does not claim any hardware resources.
Ideal
choice for adapters on legacy buses such as PCMCIA or adapters without
scatter gather.
The
easiest way to cover the important Windows versions with a single
source.
The "hello world" of SCSI
miniports; a simple skeleton ready to be filled in with your code.
The new
Microsoft architecture for achieving the highest possible performance.
Scatter/gather implementation.
Test storport functionality without
needing the hardware.
Guides you past errors in the
documentation and Windows drivers so you don't have to learn about them
the hard way. For instance, the kb883646 hot fix introduces a new bug.

FAQ:
Which sample is right for me?
Just answer a few simple questions
in our
Miniport Selector Guide to find out
which sample and why.
How long does it take to get?
The source is delivered electronically.
You will be able to download and start using the source code instantly
after entering your order. Online ordering is safe and secure by credit card. If
you prefer, we accept purchase orders.
What comes
with each sample?
You get the carefully
articulated and well documented source code which can be built using the Windows
WDK, an INF file for installing the driver, a document which covers all you need
to know to use the source, and a pre-built ready to run driver.
What does it look like in device manager?
Are there limits on the devices?
You may define any number of adapters, buses, devices and
LUNs. The devices can be of any type (eg: scanner, printer, disk drive, optical).
What is the API like?
For MiniRam/StorRam you only need to fill in the blanks in
standard entry points that are called by scsiport/storport respectively. The
documentation has a walkthrough to help you cover each step.
For MiniFile, your job is very easy. Simply fill in 3
functions and use one callback and your code is done:
// your below functions are called at
PASSIVE_LEVEL. You get
// to define context data for each adapter, device, and request
You may build the source using the DDK or WDK. Inside the
code you may use standard DDK functions or KMDF.
What technical support is provided?
Free support for 90 days and a full refund if an issue is not resolved
to your satisfaction.
Are there any
royalties or other costs?
No. You are
free to modify the source and use it for as many products as you wish in any sales
volume. There is also no time limit on how long you can use the source.
