OK, understood it the same way.

No, the GL660 interfaces directly to a block GenesysLogic calls "EPP" (En=
changed
Parallel Port? Data is transfered as EPP packets via the USB too?) that
not only interfaces to the GL660 (for actual 480Mbps transfer speed) and
internal USB1.1 PHY but also to blocks "Data Interface" (gamma corrected,=

compressed data packed on a block called "Data Packing", not sure what th=
at
block might do, maybe insert IEEE1394/USB headers/framing?) and "Register=

& Status Read" -block that interfaces to the external MPU.

I do have an WinXP dedicated for USB sniffing, but haven't been able to
have enought time to test it out, will today try it out.

Hope you got the pdf out of GL646, as it's Chapter 3. System Block Diagra=
m
has an 3.2 USB 2.0 System Block Diagram shows external component connecti=
ons
while the 4. Function Block Diagram shows internal connections within GL6=
46,
and of course 5 Hardware Description: 5.1 Pins Assigments & Mode Definiti=
ons
shows that the GL646 is working on Mode 4 (SC+ and AFE)... 7. Command Set=

Description has pretty clearcut register listing... :-)

Hmm, my doc describes 0x1a as:

CKH[4..0]

Check High? As 0x1b is CKL[4..0] that might then be Check Low?

Note, both regs have bits[7..5] unmarked (reserved?)...

Maybe we have different .pdf docs (I got it directly from GenesysLogic.co=
m)?

Reg lists 0x00 -> 0x71 with an note that Regs 0x4x and 0x7x are read port=
s,
other are write ports...

Anyways, tested that 0x1a-hack and:

sane-find-scanner can't again determine the USB chip...

Are directly passed thru to GL646?

Or that 0x00 -> 0x1f interact with GL660 and 0x20+ go to GL646?

Yep, as:

usb 0x04a9 0x2215

Ok, then that makes sense...
