Hi, I'm using an application that works very well with Wine but that application requires a specific USB hardware where no (and no similar) Linux driver is available for. Therefore my question is: the application comes with a fully working Windows driver for that hardware, is it possible to use that driver to access the hardware via Wine? Until now I could not get it work but I'd expect some settings that tell whine at which USB port the hardware can be found. In my opinion it should work with some generic driver on Linux side that only forwards all requests from Linux to Wine and vice versa!?

> It would help if you told us what type of hardware it was.Definitely nothing where you would find anything comparable, its not a consumer product but a card for controlling a XY2 scanhead. So if there is no way to use the Windows drivers it is impossible to use the complete application with Linux. Kind regards Elmar -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.

They speak about support for USB. I think that it is planned to release some driver support for problems as yours ! ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
