I tried to use the Kx.sys driver for a creative SB Live: Value with "Reactos".
Attached below the traces during the driver initialization.
Why the portcls.sys is required by Kx.sys ?

Best regards
Gge

Thanks for your reply
Your site does not indicate the minimum version to be used.
Does it matter ?
