You can combine that with the links on this page from Microsoft circa 2003: https://web.archive.org/web/20030207142304/http://www.microsoft.com:80/hwdev/tech/PnP/default.asp If there are any files on that page not preserved, you can often just google for them. Same for finding newer versions of the files than the frozen-in-time FTP mirror above. Craig Hart has a good page on PNP programming at http://web.archive.org/web/20080829130750/http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802 (archive of [http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802/ http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802/])
