If you're planning on writing a driver for it, I'd suggest getting the
book, "Linux Device Drivers" by Alessandro Rubini.
It's a shame - about a year and a half ago I had one of these, with
documentation and software but no interface card. I had to make room in my
computer closet and I pitched it. :-/
Anyway, you will need to get some fairly detailed information about how
the card works. Possibly HP could help, but you'll probably have to send a
lot of emails to various people until you find someone who can help you.
Another way to get that info would be to see if you can use the software
under DOSEMU or Wine, and "snoop" on the traffic between the driver and
the card. This is tedious and difficult, but I've heard of people doing
so.
