Hi,
I've a couple of usb dataloggers on order, which are said to be incompatible with Linux. They record events, and then you plug them into the usb port to use a windows only software package to pull the accumulated records off them.
Without really knowing how much of a task this might be, I'm wondering about using a usb logger to catch the messages.
But which one? Any ideas or suggestions or experience?
And then writing my own little hack to do the same from linux using some suitably noddy high level language of course.
Has anyone ever done this, and is it going to be so forbiddingly difficult that it should not even be attempted? Or did you do it and it was a snap? Or somewhere in between?
Peter

from 24/01/2008. There are also other emails on the same list about usbmon, so I suggest you take a look at those too.
Though I'm not sure how one sniffs and still uses the device in Windows.
Hope that helps, Srdjan

VirtualBoxed windows maybe? I've never tried it myself but it sounds like it could be alot of work.

You could run windows as a virtual machine guest.
For an free/open source solution (to the virtualisation) there is QEMU and the associated kernel module kqemu - see http://bellard.org/qemu/
