Bus Hound is the premier software bus analyzer for capturing I/O, protocol, and performance measurements. You can also send your own custom commands from a graphical interface. Because Bus Hound is a 100% software product, it is especially suited to inspecting host side protocol. The tables below illustrate Bus Hound’s capabilities.

Are you developing a device driver for a storage adapter or virtual device?  

We offer precision source code to four miniport device driver samples to jump start your development putting you close to the finish line right from the start.

Each sample offers the following features

• Source code for a single, self contained device driver that needs no hardware backend to run and thus can be installed on any system
• Creates a virtual disk drive that is assigned a driver letter and works exactly like a real disk drive
• Supports disk drives larger than 2TB (long lba addressing)
• SPC-5 and SBC-4 command set compliance
• Passes ScsiComplianceTest in the Windows Logo Kit (WLK).
• Supports dynamic load and unload, 32-bit and 64-bit Windows and Itanium
• Can be easily installed programmatically or using the Add Hardware wizard
• Sign or logo your driver
• Verifier clean, lint and /w4 clean, signed, and tuned with absolute precision
