Hi
We have an application that communicates with some hardware. For this we have virtual device drivers that map some memory. There is also a PCI-Interface dll. Is this possible to work in wine? I recently read that wine is supposed to run most Windows apps but not drivers. We intended to port our application to Linux with the help of wine but now I'm not sure if we can succeed at all. If it's not possible with the Windows drivers is there a way if we make a native Linux kernel module? I'm still at the very beginning of Wine. The app loads but the toolbar is not painted and it crashes as soon as I try to open a file. Well, long way to go...
Thanks for any help.

VxDs are not supported, that's right. They would need to run in kernel mode to do their work.
