Hi all, I posted this question to the gphoto mailing list with no response so I'm trying you guys...since I know there are many knowledgable people here. So without any delay...
I'm going to try and write a program/library to read data from a portable mp3 player. Currently I must use Windows to communicate with the device, so there is definitely a need for such a program if I want to use the device under Linux. My problem is, I need to be able to read the data being sent to and from the device to reverse engineer it. Therefore, I need someway to log the data that goes across the parallel port. Thus, I'm looking for a windows app that will allow me to do this. Nothing special, just a way to log data going across the parallel port. I know Linux has some packages to do log parallel port data, but, the software runs under Windows...not Linux, so, I'll need a windows app. Also, I looked into the Diamond Rio mp3 player utility, and they claimed to have used a custom VxD (virtual device driver?). This doesn't mean much to me. I've researched this for awhile with little progress. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Scott
