Direct hardware access doesn't work on WINE. For example, you cannot record CD or DVD using Windows software under WINE. However, you can record CD or DVD using VMWare (it has free trial for 30 days - more than enough to update firmware). VirtualBox or QEmu (both are free) maybe will work too but I never tested them for that purpose. Actually, I never used VMWare for updating firmware in SCSI/IDE/SATA device but I think this should work too - probably as good as CD/DVD writing. Anyway, there is no harm to try this. You can download VMWare at http://vmware.com . Use of sophisticated virtual machines is the only way in your case. Another alternative is to use DOS executables for update (many vendors have them as an alternative) with FreeDOS but this will require reboot; and this is only way if you havn't a copy of Windows CD/DVD (it is needed for virtual machine). _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
