do you have any idea where it is failing? typically drivers which consume
hw resources should be converted from the NT4 style driver to support pnp
(so you have the resources assigned to your device instead of querying for
them) and power (so the device can work properly after standby). bolting on
pnp/power support is somewhat of a big deal, it is not trivial. if you go
down this road, i would suggest you look at KMDF to see if it will allow you
to add pnp / power support while maintaining most of your code base. there
is a KMDF version of serial.sys in the WDK that you can use as a reference.
