Default Controlling an Icom PCR-1500 from linux

Has anyone ever succeeded in controlling a pcr-1500 from a linux box? The
controlling software per se runs smoothly inside the dos/windows emulator
"wine" under linux, but is doesn't "see" the USB port.

Three options in front of me:

- write the USB driver under linux (pain!)

- cheat and use a tty (com) driver and redirect it on the USB port
(not sure the controlling software would cooperate...)

- find someone who already found a solution and is willing to share...

I'd love the third option.... 73s from sunny Italy,
