I don't know why we can't read anything from this device. There are many ways in which one could make a buggy device that works with the vendor's driver, but is otherwise USB-non-compliant. Perhaps the device has some dumb behavior, like it expects a buffer that is exactly 13 bytes larger than the size of the data, or it needs some initialization that we don't know about. I am not very hopeful about being able to guess it. -- Peter > > -----Urspr=FCngliche Nachricht----- > > Von: Peter Selinger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 19.
