|

<P>No, you can use a modified ASPI driver under windows or a modified
|
||
<BR>
|
||
wine scsi driver to dump every packet. I explained it more or less
|
||
<BR>
|
||
into details in a mail some time ago on this list. However it is
|
||
<BR>
|
||
extremely boring and gives random results.

<P><EM>> How do I find the protocol? I asked Memorex for the technical specs and they

|

|

<P>You have been introduced to the main problem of the linux driver
|
||
<BR>
|
||
writer : clueless manufacturers. You may try to lie by telling you are
|
||
<BR>
|
||
writing a driver for windows, or you are a potential very important
|
||
<BR>
|
||
customer needing linux support, or whatever reason, but that may not
|
||
<BR>
|
||
work... I am currently contacting braille displays manufacturers to
|
||
<BR>
|
||
write drivers for a project of mine: some are very interested, some
|
||
<BR>
|
||
really don't care and wouldn't give their (uninteresting, poorly
|
||
<BR>
|
||
designed) protocol for all the gold in the world.
