Hi,

Regarding either writing a new driver or making changes to an exisitng one
to accomodate a new chipset. Could someone point out what kind of
information to look for if I capture the communication between the host and
the USB device on windows??

I have two unsupported devices here:
1. Chronos Digital camera that shows up as manufactured by ViewQuest
Technologies. 0x0733/0x1310 (In mass storage mode)
2. Siemens Santis USB ISDN TA.

I also have a D-Link USB Modem DU-560M but not worried about that coz I use
it rarely.

Having used USB sniffers, I now have several MBs of logs of the
communication but what communication is propreitary in there and what is
generic or common to all USB devices??

Sorry if my newbie questions annoy you. I am trying to read up the 327 page
USB 1.1 standard :)

TIA,

Siddhartha
