giveio.sys make kernel transparent for user-level access to periphery
devices (like Win95), and we don't know how other devices work with
this...

You have in tar.gz archive (both) source and compiled .sys file.
Microsoft doesn't change kernel :) (compatibility problem!),... 
with Service Pack 3 or higher (SP6 is the latest and free), 
driver doesn't have problems with NT4.0.
I don't know what GNU/GPL compiler can compile this code.
My colleague work with compiler inside Visual Studio 6 + SDK/DDK
(Software Development Kit & Device Driver Development Kit).
Visual Studio 6 (compiler) is not free, but SDK/DDK (libraries) is free;
You will find at:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/platformsdk/oct2000/  is the latest.

But bdm.sys is free like giveio.sys... where the problem is?

I'm not a programmer , I'm only hardware engineer, 
an I'm sorry for my broken english.
