I want to be able to use a "Frederic Engineering" serial data analyzer under FreeBSD. The unit (under W98) connects via a PCMCIA card which allows a data buffer in the unit to be uploaded to the PC for analysis. I'm willing to (re)write the analysis software -- as this is a project I just undertake anyway. What I want is to be able to suck up the data. Questions: 1) Is there an easy way to monitor W98->PCMCIA card transactions? I guess I'm asking if there is a ktrace clone which works for this application. 2) How hard is it to write a user-land (or lkm) module to provide access to a PCMCIA card interface. Thanks for comments/suggestions. Kent To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
