So would this work with the APC one sold as a USB device? Using the same guts it would seem… When I run lsusb I get:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 08ff:5731 AuthenTec, Inc. AES3500 TruePrint Sensor It would seem there is an ftp site for this: ftp://ftp.apc.com/apc/public/software/windows/xp/biopod/ However, after gleaning the .inf files (here and on the supplied CD) it may require the driver supplied from the OmniPass install CD-Rom The bottom of the “biopod,” as they refer to it, has what looks to be a model number: BIOPODMP4 …I am unsure as to how it may be different. Other recommendations have been to go to omnipass's website (www.softexinc.com), go to downloads, trial version. chose omnipass client edition (x32 or x64 ...

Thanks in advance, Chris -----Original Message----- Sorry friends, my attached code and log files have been holding for moderation. And I've posted somewhere else as Bastien suggested, sorry if I've flooded your inbox. Code and log listings: https://gist.github.com/939298 Enrolled sample is attached. Best, -- Juvenn Woo ♫ _____ Hi Rafael, I have this device too. What Tobias Wolf did, AFAIK, was to reassemble the AES 4000 driver, change the image dimension, and compile it as a AES 3500 driver. Which hadn't gone so far as a working driver. I don't think there were anyone working on the devices thereafter. I'm looking to work on this, though with my shallow experience in driver development, you should not expect too much from me. Anyway, if you could help, maybe we can sort this out? I'm trying to get a Windows driver, XP specifically, so we could sniff the USB in Windows first. Do you have a Windows driver? Thanks.
