Nice! I've thought snooping could help with writing drivers since I
started using Linux, but Linux had drivers for all of my hardware back
then anyway and the ISA bus was just starting to go out of style. ;)
Anyway it's funny you should post this now. Just half an hour ago I was
thinking about patching a Linux driver module to record everything it
does and every command it receives; snooping with driver help.
