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.
