The ioperm package was very helpful. Thanks for that.
U was now able to compile a sample driver into a .sys file.
I used the SCOpenManager and CreateProcess to get it loaded.

So in effeect, when a write an application program 
hPort = CreateFile(
                       "\\DosDevices\\mydevice",
                       0,
                       0, 
                       NULL, 
                       0, 
                       0, 
                       NULL);

if (hPort == (HANDLE)-1)
    {
    printf("Open failed :%lx\n",hCommPort);
    return -1;
    }

I thought it would succeed. But CreateFile failed!

What may be the reason? A snippet of the CYGWIN code for win driver is as follows:

 RtlInitUnicodeString( &DeviceName, L"\\Device\\mydevice" );
 RtlInitUnicodeString( &SymbolicLinkName, L"\\DosDevices\\mydevice" );
 IoCreateDevice( DriverObject, 0, &DeviceName, ...
 IoCreateSymbolicLink( &SymbolicLinkName, &DeviceName...

Thanks
  Kiran

Please read the ioperm sources...
