when is it not called with _OSEvent? Frankly, i'm rather confused, what
with all the recent 'progress', about what is safe to patch anymore.

anybode got a good summary of recent patching zen??

Also on this question: I'd like to intercept all attempts to read or write
from the .Aout and .Ain drivers. Is it kosher to simply patch their unit
table entries? what I'm worried about is these drivers getting a
CloseDriver from somewhere after patch time.This would invalidate the
entry, and might crash the machine, if it releases my patch instead of the
driver! Anybody dealt with this before??
