The purely usb aspects of usbscan.sys, especially things like bulk usb- read and write, could perhaps be handled in linux user-mode by libusb. ?But the calling convention for usbscan.sys (which uses CreateFile etc) needs to interact with the file handler in a way incompatible for the present wine-server?.
