--- Comment #11 from Alois Schlögl alois.schloegl@gmail.com --- Hello Anastasius,
thanks for looking into that issue.
For clarification, ced_usb.sys is part of the CED 1401 installer, and is provided by the installer. Concerning, proprietary softwarem I perfectly agree with that. Actually, the company CED provides the sources code on request under the GPL, I made it available here https://github.com/schloegl/ced1401 and it was also for some time in the linux staging tree.
These CED devices on the market for a long time, and a number of windows applications use them, which are not likely to be ported Linux. This includes Software from CED (Signal, Spike) , as well as IgorPro from WaveMetrics, and some legacy Inhouse software (we call it FPulse). I've tested these software packages on Wine, and they install and run fine one Wine, except that the software can not talk to the hardware.
And yes, I've learned that these driver issues are were special and that there is no straight-forward for solving that issue. If you have any suggested, please let me know.
Best regards, Alois
