controlling an icom pcr-1500 under 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.... cheers from sunny Italy,

The pcr-1000 is usable via hamlib, I don't know how different the pcr-1500
commmand set is, but it should be doable.

Buy a pcr-1500 for me -- to test with, and I will add the needed code to
hamlib :)
