The DDK header files define two constants, WDM_MAJORVERSION and WDM_MINORVERSION. Use the kernel routine IoIsWdmVersionAvailable to determine whether the required version WDM version is available. Finally, I will cover the USB and HID system drivers. Next, I will deal with drivers that have to use hardware resources such as accessing memory and handling interrupts.

I will look first at the core WDM functionality as a simple device driver is developed.

For example, the W2000 USB system drivers support some features that are not available to W98 drivers.

If you use some WDM facilities that only appear in Windows 2000, then you may not achieve source code compatibility. That is, the Windows 98 Driver Development Kit (DDK) is used when building drivers for Windows 98, and the W2000 DDK for W2000. I have erred on the safe side, only installing drivers that have been built for the right operating system. However, it now seems as though binary compatibility is not assured, even though the DDKs are unclear on the subject. Originally Microsoft stated that WDM drivers would be binary compatible between Windows 98 and Windows 2000 x86, and source code compatible to Windows 2000 Alpha platforms. This makes it fairly straightforward to issue requests to the USB bus. A well defined interface is made available to other drivers. For example, the USB system drivers handle all the low-level communications across this bus. These system class drivers can make it significantly easier to write some types of device driver. Finally, the Still Image Architecture (STI) provides a framework for handling still images, scanners, etc. Other class drivers implement standard Windows facilities such as Human Input Devices (HID) and kernel streaming.

The first type of system driver supports different types of bus, such as the Universal Serial Bus (USB), IEEE 1394 (FireWire) and Audio port devices.

Microsoft provides a series of system drivers that have all the basic functionality needed to service many standard types of device. A WDM device driver must fit into the Plug and Play (PnP) system that lets users plug in devices that can be configured in software. The core WDM model describes how device drivers are installed and started, and how they should service user requests and interact with hardware. Second, Microsoft provides a series of bus and class drivers for common types of devices. First, the core model describes the standard structure for device drivers. Corporations this big really need to talk to each other and work together to ensure our consumer products don't become obsolete after a couple of years (or worse, months).The Windows Driver Model has two separate but equally important aspects.

I realise we could get into a blame game situation, with Samsung blaming Microsoft and Microsoft blaming Samung. The conclusion I have to come to is it would appear that perhaps one of the many Win 10 OS updates may have lead to this failure and Samsung do not appear to have addressed it by releasing an updated driver. The SE-506 used to work with BDs a few months ago. My SE-506 only gets used infrequently it was purchased to enable watching of BD and DVD discs when on the go. Oh and yes, I have tried different BD discs which I know to be working on other devices (including a built-in BD drive in one of the devices, confirming that it's not the CyberLink PowerDVD software, if there was any doubt there). scs.exe reported no problems found and the Win 10 troubleshooter just repeatedly says the device needs to be rebooted (I'm only prepared to reboot so many times.). I have also run scs.exe and the Win 10 troubleshooter. I have tried using the manufacturer's supplied single cable and a split cable.

I have tried the SE-506 on three different computers with three different Win 10 builds (Pro 1703, Home 1703 and Pro 1607). I am able to play DVD discs but once a BD disc is placed in the drive it spends ages not recognising the disc and then reports the drive empty to the OS (Win 10). My Samsung SE-506 /TSSTcorp BDDVDW SE-506CB USB BD/CD/DVD writer is also suffering from this issue.
