Hi all, as m.allan noah recommended in his last post (see below) I used USBSnoop to generate a log (find it enclosed). Is anybody recognizing the Protocol used, or is anybody able and willing to writer/modify a driver ?

The usb interface looks simple enough, very few endpoints. Can you get a trace of the windows driver making a small black and white scan using this tool: http://www.pcausa.com/Utilities/UsbSnoop/ Then zip the log, and send it to the list. Perhaps someone will recognize the protocol. There are individuals on this list who will write and/or modify drivers. Some do this for free or for hardware donation, others do it for payment. allan -- "The truth is an offense, but not a sin" -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
