One more question concerning the same subject:

When I do CloseDevice. What happens to a (maybe) pending I/O-request. Do
I have to AbortIO(it) or does CloseDevice do that. If I have to abort it,
what happens if the request is not pending anymore ?. I can't find any way
to be sure that a request is not pending. Ok I do CheckIO and find it's
still pending, then I do AbortIO. But if the request is returned between
CheckIO and AbortIO, i will be aborting a nonpending request. Does anyone
know the *CORRECT* way of closing up a device ?

	thnx
