HID-USB support

Post by Buckethead »

I have an in house Windows program that communicates with a HID-USB chip in an in house product and want it to run on Mac. The driver used is the universal HID driver supplied in both Windows and Mac. The Mac system sees the USB chip and identifies its product name so the computer is seeing the product. The program runs just great under the wine/crossover installer but does not see the usb device. So the question is two fold.
1. I know currently wine does not support usb, but since this is a HID device and a universal driver can it be made to work?
2. If the answer to 1 is no, the chip manufacturer also supplies .dylib files for native Mac programs. Is this somehow helpful in finding an alternative solution such as writing a small Mac program that talks to the USB and then have our windows program talk to the Mac program or some other creative solution.
Thanks
