Hello,

I'm trying to port a media driver to the emulator (winscw).
So far I managed to actually port it - it compiles, and loaded into memory (I can see the PDD in the resource handler at run-time).

However, I didn't manage to "mount" a drive with it.
On a real platform, I map a drive to my media driver with the estart text files. But under the emulator, even if I add the estart text file (under z:\sys\data\estart.txt), my media driver is not called.
I can see that the PDD is asked if it supports EFixedMedia0, 1 & 2 - those are handled by the media drivers for medint, medlfs & mednand, but it doesn't check EFixedMediaWHATEVER that I registered as my driver.

How can I make it mount my media driver?

Thanks in advance,

Nir

Re: Mounting media driver under WINSCW
Hi,

Got some more details.

Seems that if I add my PDD name into the "Extension" property, which is defined in property.cpp under the wins folder, and rebuild vwins, my media driver gets loaded.

So now my question is - how can it be done without recompiling vwins? (if possible)

Thanks in advance,

Nir
