What about USB devices? (looking for RTL-SDR help)

[Toontje]

New to wine on OSX. First message on the board. Have read the FAQ, haven't read the manual yet.

I have installed wine to see if i can run SDR (Software Defined Radio) Windows apps on my Mac (OSX 10.10.3). I am using a USB SDR adapter (http://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-quick-start-guide/) for which i need to load a specific driver (http://zadig.akeo.ie/).

When i run Zadig my USB device list is empty. Does wine support USB devices or should i resort to a virtual machine solution?

Thanks,

Ton.

Windows hardware drivers don't work in Wine, so if your device requires one, it won't work.

Ok, thanks. I will go for virtual machines then.
