WDM driver for non PNP hardware is impossible??

I am wondering&gloomy.
Wish everyone's help:-)
If so ,how to develope its driver under win2000?

You develop it the same way as any other WDM driver. The difference is in
the INF file where you provide a LogConfig section to describe the hardware
resources for this device. I have been involved with several WDM drivers
where the same driver supported a PCI PNP device and a non-PNP ISA device.

Not so, we have developed a WDM driver implementing PnP for non-PnP hardware
(Multi-Port Serial over network is a device which is about as non-PnP as you
can get). You may need to investigate implementing a bus driver to support
your hardware in order to achieve a closer tie to PnP, which is what we did.

Unfortunately, the only real bus driver example I have seen is the Toaster
sample, and it does not really account for the fact that one may want their
hardware to come back after a reboot of the system and as such require
Registry interfaces to retain necessary configuration information to be able
to do so. This I've felt is one of the major short comings of that sample,
coupled with a command line interface to add and remove devices in a
"Windows" environment!!!

Thank u so much:-)
BTW,now I have a serail smartcard reader,non_PnP,& i've the driver under
Windows NT4.0.
I means,whether can i just change the INF file under Win2k to make it works
under Win2k??

Or u mean??Have i must rewrite its driver for Win2k?
Still I have to modify the INF file as u had said.
// the manufacture doesn't have the driver under 2k either:(
// the reader just works under NT
// I mean I want to use it under Win2k

expecting ur answer:-)

Your NT 4.0 driver may work under Win2k, you will need to test it. The INF
solution was for your original question of will a WDM driver support non-PNP
hardware, but yes you will need a WDM driver for that not an NT 4.0 driver.
