[tlug] WINE and Removable Devices

[CL <az.4tlug@example.com>]

Before I take the bull by the tail and do something I may regret, I 
wanted to ask whether I am thinking of this setup the right way around:

I'd like to try out Skype in Kubuntu using my portable Skype phone.  It 
is a handset made by Hagiwara Sys-Com that connects via a USB + cord. 
Hardware configuration and setup utilities are stored on a ROM in the 
handset and are Japanese WIN format.

The first issue is, of course, whether WINE will address a Japanese 
language setup program.  I believe that, if that is a problem, I'll just 
have to wait for the latest version of WINE which I mentioned in a 
recent post.

The second issue is whether there is anything in WINE that would permit 
or prevent it from working with a removable device ... or is the issue 
not that we're discussing the OS but that we're talking about a hardware 
driver, which won't work anyway?

Still trying to clarify some of the basics, I guess ...
