[chirp_devel] Portmon doc for 64bit windows?

[Robert Terzi]

I didn't realize portmon doesn't exist for 64-bit windows. I hope there is a replacement.

As an FYI, If you go the VM route, a few tips:

- VMware has some tracing capabilities built in. I know Travis Goodspeed was using this to capture the Tytera MD-380 (DMR) USB transactions to create his Python tool for reading/writing that radio. VMware Workstation Player, is the new free for personal use version of VMware.  If you need capabilities that aren't in the free version, you can get an eval license.

- VirtualBox as of 5.x added some tracing capabilities that were previous lacking in VirtualBox 4.x. I have no experience with this.

- VirtualBox USB support -- VirtualBox is free/open-source, but you need to add the extension package which isn't open source for USB device support.

- Pre-built Windows VMs for testing - Microsoft makes pre-built Windows VMs available for testing IE that are useful for doing other tests.  VirtualBox, VMware, Vagrant, Parallels, and Hyper-V images are available.  (They don't have a qcow2 image directly usable by Linux KVM/libvirt).  The VMs expire after 90 days, but they tell you to make a snapshot at first boot that you can roll back to.

Hope this helps,
