Infrastructure Software

I have a sparc machine running solaris 10 and 2 Olympus usb foot pedals. The usb foot pedal models are RS24 and RS26. There are no Solaris drviers for the devices. I tried the detection tool on an XP Pro machine since I do not have an x86 machine. The tool does not detect the pedal even with Windows drivers installed.

I have read that other brands of foot pedals do not support Linux/Unix but should be compatible with their built in drivers. So I tried assigning a foot pedal to the hid driver. Nothing would happen when I press a pedal or cat the files in /dev/usb/7b4.202.

Then I tried assigning the foot pedal to a usb mouse driver from a site recommended by Sun. The driver would install but fail to attach. Still nothing would happen however there would be weird output when I cat the /dev/usb/7b4/202 files.

I know that foot pedals are used for audio and dictation so I would have to test them against that software. However my company would basically like to see changes in the state of the foot pedals to use them in their own software. I have no expereince in coding drivers so feedback with non-coding solutions would be appreciated.

Sorry I put this in the wrong forum.
