Crossover (Wine) seems to have 32 COM ports pre-created, all defined as serial in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM
When I plug in a USB serial device, it shows up as com33 in my /dosdevices folder as shown in the "ls -l" command":
...
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 11 Jul 11 10:06 com30 -> /dev/ttyS29
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 11 Jul 11 10:06 com31 -> /dev/ttyS30
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 11 Jul 11 10:06 com32 -> /dev/ttyS31
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 12 Jul 11 09:59 com33 -> /dev/ttyUSB0
...etc
Fine and dandy. However, the program only sees the first 32 com ports as an option, there is no com33 in the program selection listing (program can see up to 255 com ports).
I've tried adding com33 to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wine\Ports, pointing to /dev/ttyUSB0, but no success, still not seem by the program. Tried defining it as com1, but com1 is "invalid" in the program when selected, so that is not a solution. (conflict with existing serial com1)
So, the question is, how does one map a USB device as a com port so applications can see it? Do I have to re-define the symbol links? If so, what works? Any ideas?
