Ruud,
I would start with the PCIDRV sample, since it shows how to inialize
and use a piece of PCI hardware. You should use the Kernel Mode Driver
Framework (KMDF) and the WDK (the Vista version of the DDK). Use KMDF
since it is simpler and is the future of Windows drivers. Use the WDK
since it has the latest and best tools, documentation and samples. If you
use KMDF you should also look at the sample driver for the Sealevel Digital
I/O board at
http://www.osronline.com/article.cfm?article=403, since this
is a simpler sample.
