I don't think anyone is developing device drivers in Delphi. Even Borland C compilers are not advisable. In theory, it should be possible to use Delphi, but who wants to port megabytes of include files to Delphi, only to find you are on your own when you hit some serious problem. There are two ways to develop device drivers: - The Microsoft way, in C, with the DDK and the prescribed compiler. Will take months to get results. - The fast but expensive way, with a package like offered by jungo (www.jungo.com) Sorry I cannot really help, regards, Matt Back to top Martin Harvey (Demon acco Guest Posted: Mon Jan 17, 2005 7:50 pm    Post subject: Re: HELP!!

Even Borland C compilers are not advisable. In theory, it should be possible to use Delphi, It probably is, but I can see that you'll have to do the following: 1. Port the headers - including important macros that manipulate kernel internal datastructures. 2. Write a post-processing app that takes the output of the Delphi compiler, and changes it into an appropriate .sys file, as well as munging appropriate entry points / load addresses etc etc. This is another one of those thing I'd "like to do" if I was immortal and had *loads* of time on my hands, cos I reckon I could do it. In practice, it's not going to happen. MH.
