I am looking into the possibility of writing a serial port MIDI driver for
Windows Vista, as the Korg X5D serial port driver will not install on Vista.
I am very new to drivers, so please excuse my ignorance if these are stupid
questions
Am I right in thinking I would need to create a PortCls driver with a MIDI
miniport driver, or is it possible for me to create something using the user
mode driver framework?
Second, do I need to learn some kind of kernel mode API for reading /
writing to the serial port, or is there a way of simply writing to it as
though it were the UART on a PCI soundcard?
Finally, if I were to pull this off (a big if - all depends on how much time
it takes me to get up to speed on device driver development), I would make
it available as open source, so if there is anyone here who would like to
collaborate, do get in touch.
thanks
Mark
