Does WinDriver support development for PCMCIA devices?



Starting with version 6.2.2, WinDriver supports PCMCIA on Windows.
The latest WinDriver version supports PCMCIA on Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008/Server 2003/XP/2000.

In earlier versions, you can use WinDriver to develop a driver for a PCMCIA card by defining the card's resources manually and handling the card as a regular ISA card. (Plug and Play detection of the card's resources is not supported for PCMCIA, in v5.0.4–v6.2.1 of WinDriver).
Alternatively, consider replacing your PCMCIA hardware with a CardBus card (recommended) — see Technical Document #94 for information regarding WinDriver's support for CardBus.
