+Devices based on Actions Micro/Action Media designs generally use the USB
+VendorID +1de1+, and they can have two operational modes:
 
- - USB Mass Storage mode (ProductID: +1101+)
- - Generic bulk data transfer mode (ProductID: +c101+)
+ - USB Mass Storage mode (e.g. ProductID: +1101+)
+ - Generic bulk data transfer mode, or Display mode (e.g. ProductID: +c101+)
 
-The mode can be switched with the command:
+On recent GNU/Linux systems the switch from Mass Storage mode to Display mode
+is performed automatically by
+http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/[USB_ModeSwitch], or can be done
+manually with the command:
 
  $ sudo usb_modeswitch \

+Alternatively, on systems where libusb works but 'usb-modeswitch' is not
+easily available, the switch can be performed using the 'am7xxx-modeswitch'
+example program from libam7xxx.

+== Testing libam7xxx on MS Windows
+
+All the needed files below must be in the same location:
+
+  - 'MinGW32/dll/libusb-1.0.dll' from
+    https://github.com/libusb/libusb/releases/download/v1.0.21/libusb-1.0.21.7z
+
+  - 'libssp-0.dll' from MinGW;
+
+  - all the '*.dll' files in the 'bin/' directory from
+    https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win32/shared/ffmpeg-3.4.2-win32-shared.zip
+    
+
+  - 'am7xxx-modeswitch.exe', 'am7xxx-play.exe', 'libam7xxx.dll' and
+    'picoproj.exe' which can all be built by following the instructions in the
+    HACKING.asciidoc document from libam7xxx.
+
+In order to use the device on MS Windows the WinUSB drivers must be installed
+for both the mass storage device and the display device:
+
+  - Download http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/[Zadig], it is
+    a tool to install and replace USB devices filter drivers on MS Windows.
+
+  - From Zadig, select the USB Mass Storage Device relative to the projector
+    and replace the +USBSTOR+ driver with the +WinUSB+ one; keep in mind that
+    from now on the virtual CD-ROM can't be accessed anymore until the
+    +USBSTOR+ Driver is restored.
+
+  - Run 'am7xxx-modeswitch.exe'
+
+  - When the new (display) device shows up, run Zadig and install the +WinUSB+
+    driver for it too.
+
+Now it is possible to run 'picoproj.exe' or 'am7xxx-play.exe' on Windows.
