If yours was the post on how to do an INF file to satisfy Win2000 without
writing a driver, the INF file below should be pretty close to what you
need.  The really critical line is:

%DeviceDesc%=SDUMMY.Dev, SCSI\NetXXI_____XXI_2000________5.0_

The line after the comma must be changed to match your device's hardware ID.
This can be a little tricky to figure out for some SCSI devices.  It is
probably easiest to attach your device, go to the device manager, and select
scan.  When you are prompted for a driver, hit cancel.  You will be
installed as an 'unknown' device in the registry.  If you know your
manufacturer or product ID, search the registry with RegEdit.  One of the
created keys is hardware ID.  It will be in Unicode, but you can pretty
easily extract the ASCII line (like above) from the dump view regedit shows.

Good Luck,

Subject: [ntdev] INF file for scsiscan


Following on from a previous posting I made, I was told that with an
appropriate INF file I should be able to get Windows 2000's scsiscan.sys to
load so that I can use SCSI_PASSTHROUGH calls from my application. Having
never written an INF file before, can anybody tell me what I need to put in
it to get it to work? Or does somebody already have such a file?

Thanks
Steve Ford
