I've figured out the protocol the device sends; I'm just not sure how the device is initialized. So I'd love to capture the Windows software doing the dirty deed.. and WINE is IMHO just the tool. So, question is:

This is kind of a dreadful hack, but it has been useful to me some time
in the past so I remade it to apply to the current CVS.  You might want
to edit the hardcoded path for the trace file it captures to (isn't
everybody keeps a /gp/windose directory).  If the logfile exists, it
will not overwrite it, but it is happy to make a new one.
I took the trouble to hand-patch it from a year ago, so you may as well
have the use of it in case it is useful.  Maybe you want to fix the
hacks and offer it to Wine.
