Hello,
Can anyone point me to documentation/help or tools for disassembling Windows 95 drv and vxd files and/or porting them to wine??
I have a Roland SCP-55 Soundcanvas card (pcmcia ) which is not recognized by linux
I'd start by politely asking Roland for the specs. Only if they openly refuse it's time to start working on a linux driver. As far as using wine for the task, I bet you might be better off instead by looking how the ndiswrapper folks have done it for NDIS drivers. Probably there's some wine code that you could snatch to implement something special that the driver needs, but presumably it'll be all rudimentary low-level stuff related to interfacing with the PCMCIA stack and so on, which is not present in wine anyway IIRC.
Disclaimer: I'd start by extending ndiswrapper, but there of course are other ways :)
Cheers, Kuba
