Yes, the driver model is not the same between NT 4 and NT 5 and 5.1 (2k 
and XP).

That function is only available in the 2000 DDK (not sure, but I think I 
got this right).

Also, even if the driver worked, the user space daemons use 2000 and 
higher specific functions (specially in the NT console).

Hehe, you need to have patient, as colinux is still young, and more work 
needs to be done before starting to think on porting to all different OS 
versions.

Maybe there is some undocumented function that does the some thing, I 
have no idea...
