No. I am using the WDK ("Windows Driver Kit") compiler. More precisely,
the WDK from Windows Server 2003 (3790.1830). This compiler is related to
the Visual Studio one, but not identical.

I have to use the WDK in order to compile the Device Drivers for the
XA1541/XM1541. Unfortunately, I cannot use a newer WDK, because I have
to install Visual Studio then. As I am using Windows in a Virtual
Machine only, and Visual Studio is slow as hell in a VM, this is not an
option.  :(

Note that the setup is a little bit more complicated, as you need the
WDK, cc65 and cygwin (for sed) correctly installed in order to compile
OpenCBM.

But: Most of the tools also compile under Visual Studio. I have not
tested it lately, though, I am using Visual Studio 6 (!) only, and some
tools do not compile there because it lacks C99 features.

Regards,
Spiro.
