It is indeed a dyesub model, and a little digging dhows that it's 
essentially a Sony UP-DR150 with firmware modifications of an 
unknown scope.

The IP-64 is intended to be used as part of a full "minilab" setup, but 
Nortisu claims there's are standalone Windows and Mac drivers available. 
However, they actually cost extra, and are not freely downloadable.

I haven't found anywhere reputable that claims to have a copy of 
that driver either.

If this model doesn't work by simply adding its USB VID/PID to the 
existing Sony backend code -- Robby, contact me directly and we'll see 
about that -- we will need a way to obtain printjobs and (especially) 
USB traffic from a working setup in order to many any progress.
