Aye.

It's marked as deprecated in MSDN since Windows 2000 and it is
suggested to use the PnP manager instead. These code snippets look
useful:

I also found a code snippet from PLX (who make PCI interface chips)
saying that sending IRPs crashes Windows 98. I would easily sacrifice
Win98/ME in favor of Vista or even XP if neccessary.

Great! I'm looking forward to the results! :)
