I wasn't able to get lmilk to work. I've build my own cheep i2c-monitor 
(http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=639818#post639818). It can record i2c 
transmissions with a peak rate of 250kHz. The overall speed is limited by the serial 
interface with a rate of 1.5MBaud. It isn't necessary to use a second PC to monitor a 
windows driver.
