Hi

The interface class, sub-class and protocol are all 255 (0xFF) which
means vendor-specific, in other words non-standard.
You'll need more information on the protocol/format of the data
exchanged with the fingerprint reader.

Hi First thing i want to say is thank you very much.
I am quite new to software development so please accept my apology for 
these question.

I have tried to contact Microsoft but they won't release info about 
format or protocol. Is there any chance that i can find that some where 
else? Or can i make the controller without that information.

Best regard

Try libdpfp (http://dpfp.berlios.de/wikka.php?wakka=3DHomePage),
a user space library that uses libusb. The website claims that
the software works only on Linux but porting it to Windows
should be easy.

BTW: I found the aforementioned web site by typing=20
"microsoft+fingerprint+reader+libusb" into Google.

[Ha T. D. <duo...@gm...>]

Thank you very much for the website. I do thing that they know how the 
protocol and data format of the MS Fingerprint reader. I will have a 
look to see if i can find a way to convert to Win base. Once again thank 
you very much

Have a nice day

A lot of reverse-engineering is done to get stuff working under Linux.

I just found this page:
http://dpfp.berlios.de/wikka.php?wakka=HomePage

They say their library works with libusb, so it should not be too hard
to get port part of the code back to windows and also run it on libusb.
