wine users - Apr 2010 - usb recognition

Hello,

I have installed a program under wine - pocketnews.exe, which should load RSS
feeds into the Linux OS-based ebook reader.

The program works without fault, but when asked to connect the ebook to the usb
port (to upload the RSS feeds), it does not recognise that a device is/has been
connected.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Kind regards

p.s. the download link is:

Does the device mount as a drive in Linux/Windows or does it require 
special 'drivers' in order to function?

Hello James,

Thanks for your answer.
The ebook is recognised as a mass storage device, and the sd-micro card in it a
another mass storage device. No special drivers needed.

Kind regards
