wine users - Jan 2006 - USB ports in Wine

I use devices like GPS' MP3 players, Memory sticks etc via the USB port 
and some need to be sinked to the device via a windows program. I have 
used wine to run many of my windows apps but when it comes to accessing 
the USB port through a win-apps sink programs it does not see the USB 
port. Is there a way to configer the USB port to have win-apps see it?
I also have a win-app running called MP3 Rip and Burn by Coffee cup 
software. It works but it also can't see the CDROM's on my system. I 
have the devices setup in the .wine/dosdevices/. This one might because 
of the way the program looks for the CDROM.

Just a note: USB devices supported by the kernel will
work; this is usually simple stuff like keyboards and
mice.  However, Windows drivers are not supported
within Wine; so, applications that rely on these
specific drivers will keep them from communicating
with the devices.
