First read the paper that I mentioned early in the thread. Most drivers are
based on code from existing drivers, so you might let the group know what
you are hoping to do first. If you are just trying to learn, consider
looking at some of the samples in src\general in the DDK and walking through
them with the debugger, to understand control flow and calls. Start with
something simple like cancel, event or ioctl.
