LISST-ST/ Hardware in Wine

[Sam Albers]

Hello,

I am attempting to use wine to run the software for a scientific instrument
called LISST-ST. I am able to run the software under Ubuntu 8.04 using wine
just fine but I am can't seem to get wine to recognize the hardware that is
connected via USB. Is there any way to configure hardware using wine? That
is, does wine use a specific port or can I tell wine to look for the
hardware in a specfic port? I am running the latest version of wine. Thanks!

Sam

Some hardware but not USB. Unless it's a USB->serial device and your system detected it and installed an appropriate driver.

Indeed, it is a serial->USB device. Is there any way to "coax" wine or
Ubuntu into recognizing this hardware? That is, can I manually search for it
even though it doesn't recognize it automatically? Thanks for the response.

You have to use Linux driver to make this device known to the system and recognized as usb->serial. Wine does not support any hardware drivers at all.

Once you get your device to be seen by the system and recognized properly then you can configure Wine to see that comport.
