Thanks in advance, Alain I've found that Wine will run most Windows apps ok (but not all) as to drivers...the device must be installed in Linux Wine does not perform driver emulation nor is that it's function If you have hardware that not supported by Linux you'd need to then run Windows in a virtual machine or dual boot |

Thanks in advance, Alain As philo said, Wine is only an applications-level emulator, it doesn't run device drivers. You might be better off running a full virtualization software, like KVM or VirtualBox, but even there it's doubtful whether your hardware will be seen as they emulate their own standard hardware.
