Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Again: Release 0.8.4 GPL PV-Drivers for Windows
> Hello James,

Nope. I got it to compile (needed a few changes as W2K is NDIS50 while
XP+ is NDIS51) and released it in 0.8.4 because someone requested it,
but stated that I hadn't tested it.

Care to send me a copy of your fix?

Hmmm... I think maybe my inf files don't properly support windows 2000.
Any patches from you to fix this will be gratefully accepted :)

I've definitely tested with XP, although not recently.
