I received some Vista sniff logs from a contributor, which I've 
published here:
http://projects.reactivated.net/fprint/snifflogs/vfs101_edited.txt

The image format is not-quite-grayscale but is not far off. Just 
rendering the data blobs revealed some fingerprint-like structures. So I 
removed the image data from the logs to protect the privacy of the user.

The protocol looks overall quite simple, but some bits inbetween the 
image data transfers need to be looked at carefully. Next step is for me 
to get one of these devices, and it looks like I can just buy a Silex S1 
scanner using the project funds (this includes the same sensor).

I have one other device in my reverse engineering queue which I will 
work on before ordering the Silex device though. In the meantime, I'm 
curious as to which other laptops (HP and Acer, I think) include the 
VFS101 with USB ID 138a:0001? (Don't be fooled by the DigitalPersona 
Windows software, it's not a DP device)
The one we know of so far is the HP Pavilion dv7.
