I'm not sure how a Windows emulator running on Linux would deal with the US=
B
device driver.  That sounds tricky to me.  The low level USB access code is
deliberately in a small set of routines designed to be ported, but that's
different from it actually having been done.  And then the equivalent devic=
e
driver would need to be created for Linux too.

The USBProg can actually be driven via a serial interface.  The pads are
there for a connector, but it is not installed by default.  You would also
need a logic level to RS-232 converter is you wanted the USBProg to talk to
a PC via a serial port.

The host code is all written to a portable layer that has already been to 4
different flavors of Unix, but so far a Linux implementation hasn't been a
priority (=3D paying customer).
