Hello. I am posting here because I can't find a simple answer for something I want to do. I want raw device access to a USB mass storage device. A CF card to be more precise. The card is not set up in a way Linux can recognise as a mountable volume. I just want to know two things: how can I point Wine at the block device, and how can I give the program read/write access to it? I know it would have been easy a long time ago, but Wine has changed a lot and I'm a little lost with its advanced configuration now.
