Thanks for the offer. Keyboards and mice aren't a problem. What I need to do is to figure out how to get Wine to install and use a driver for my USB foot pedal. But, Googling leads me to understand that Wine doesn't do drivers since it is a user space vs. kernel space program -- at least I think that's what I read on the Wine wiki. > I won't be available until mid afternoon at best, possibly > even not until early evening. Production isn't held up since I can still boot to (shudder) XP and use Express Scribe there. Humorous result of Googling: vec usb linux (vec is the brand name of the foot pedal) I found a link to an archive of a thread that sounded just like what I'm trying to do. As I started reading the thread more and more of it sounded familiar. There is a good reason for that -- I wrote it on PLUG back in May, 2011! I wasn't paying attention to the names on the posts until I came to a post where I say that I posted the output of lsusb -v on my comcast web site. I did read then name of the web site and realized it was mine. :-) One useful thing about that thread is that it gives the link to the transcribe program I used to use on my old machine. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
