If you're planning on writing a driver for it, I'd suggest getting the<br>
book, "Linux Device Drivers" by Alessandro Rubini.<br>
<p>
It's a shame - about a year and a half ago I had one of these, with<br>
documentation and software but no interface card. I had to make room in my<br>
computer closet and I pitched it. :-/<br>
<p>
Anyway, you will need to get some fairly detailed information about how<br>
the card works. Possibly HP could help, but you'll probably have to send a<br>
lot of emails to various people until you find someone who can help you.<br>
<p>
Another way to get that info would be to see if you can use the software<br>
under DOSEMU or Wine, and "snoop" on the traffic between the driver and<br>
the card. This is tedious and difficult, but I've heard of people doing<br>
so. <br>
<p>
Sincerely,<br>
