I'm not an expert so I'm not sure what way is best. But I see at least 4 solutions: * There seems to be a way to get the extended function table through StorPortNotification/GetExtendedFunctionTable. This would provide some of the newer functionality even with older storport, but is potentially an undocumented hack * Avoid using the modern functionality and implement an old-storport compatible storahci, which implies using only memory from the adapter extension, and probably a few more things * Rely on a "modern" storport and do the testing in a newer Windows version. Then when ROS gets storport it simply needs to be a "modern" version * Do not use storport and implement msahci rather than storahci
Option 2 would give the greatest compatibility but I can't pretend to understand what limitations it will imply.
