Well, I tried installing Spectraview II in Linux under Wine. After using

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.
