Hello I'm new to using wine and would like to know if there is a version of windows device manager available or similar program to allow me to manually install devices to wine without having to install windows. The problem? I am trying to update my skytex primer from a mac and the software is pc only. It does not recognize the device and the fix is install device driver manually. So how to do it under wine- without windows Mac OSX 10.6.6. Thanks for any help. spacecadet
you don't use drivers... at all... sorry. Wine doesn't emulate windows, just the APIs basically, to run the software. You'll have to get access to the device working in OSX, then the program in Wine should see it too.
hi. thanks for your reply. OSX sees the device under it I can copy files to and from it delete them etc, and I can get file manager in Wine to see it as drive D. But the upgrade software says device not recognized and the work a round from Skytex is to install the device driver manually using device manager and try again. So can I install the driver somehow in wine? Spacecadet

Wine does not support windows drivers. Wine also does not communicate directly with hardware. John
