	Lame pointer: I remember reading about a windoze proggy that would
sniff the USB traffic in the manner of ethereal.  However, I can't
remember the name of it.  Sorry.  I do know that many USB hackers used
it extensivly to reverse engineer a great many USB devices.

	Greg KH (Kroah-Hartman) is the USB maintainer.  He could probably point
you to the Win USB sniffer.  His email is: greg at kroah.com.

	Good luck!
