Well, I tried installing Spectraview II in Linux under Wine. After using "winetricks" to install a missing dll, the installer proceeded, but told the setup tells me, "Setup was unable to find any supported monitors". I d/l-ed a copy of Win XP (unbelievable that MS still wants $100 for it), maybe I can do it through virtualiazation.
The problem is that emulators often don't implement hardware details properly or at all. There's no standard way on Linux to read/write the DDC, so there is no surprise that wine doesn't emulate MSWin's API's for this. It's doubtful that any of the VM's do either. USB can be an issue too, and some instruments may not work in an emulated environment. Graeme Gill.
