[sdiy] Maybe OT: Midi device driver for windows

[Karl Ekdahl]

Hi, the thing is i've got an MSDN subscription (it's
my works, but it's mine) but the DDK is so badly
written so i can't figure it out. It's a great
function reference but it seriously lacks the
information on HOW to start. Where's my entrypoint?
What do i need? So far i've discovered that i could
use something like the DriveEntry function, but i'm
not even sure about that.
 
Oh hell, i wish Microsoft was as good as W3C on
writing specifications. In that case i would
allready
have done my driver....
