Device driver developement?

I need the Window 98 DDK. I saw that it is available for download from
MSDN subscription. Is possible to purchase the Window 98 DDK alone without
taking MSDN subscription. If it is let somebody tell me where.

Thanks!

The direct answer to your question is, "No."

The Win98 DDK is a legacy product. It is still available in MSDN Universal
or Professional Editions, but no longer available as a separate item from
WinHEC. However, WinHEC *does* currently offer two DDKs, one for Server
2003, and one called "Suite 3" for Win2K, WinXP and WinME. I suppose it's
possible that the Windows ME portion *might* server your purpose(?) But
probably not.

You can't even get the documentation for the Win98 DDK in the online MSDN
Library, only through an MSDN subscription which includes a couple of legacy
editions, the pertinent one being that of Oct. 2001 (aka the pre-.NET
version.)

As for any "outside" solutions to your dilemma, you're on your own. I see a
couple of possibilities based upon hits from Google, but I haven't followed
through to see if they are still viable. In the most promising case, it's a
well-known "pay to see the answer" forum.

No.

For the reasons why, go to a library or bookstore
and read Chapter 5 of Karen Hazzah's book
"Writing Windows Vxds and Device Drivers".

Thank You!

If somebody could tell me somebody who would sell a used DDK pakage for
Windows 98 to me?
