Hello guys, I'm trying to use my Hp 50g graphic calculator under linux.I need to run and install a program, called Conn4x, to transfer data to my calculator. When i run it, it starts, but can't see the USB port. Under windows I had the same problem, but I fixed it but supplying the right driver to the system when i connected the calculator. I have the drivers (a .inf, and two .dll), but how can I install them under WINE? thank you

You'll need support for it natively in your OS. -- -Austin
yes, i was searching around... I wonder why I can't install a driver, but maybe the programmers know better than me :D:D:D Are you sure there's no trick or way around? I'm no geek, but I think that if now I would virtualize a Windows machine i would encounter the same problem, wouldn't I? thank you very much
Fixed: instead of looking for support for the calculator, I tried to make the trasmission protocol working. No luck for Xmodem, but Kermit is supported, being part of a larger standard called HP talk. The packet HPtalx do what I needed: http://hptalx.sourceforge.net/
