Installing USB device drivers

I apologize if this is a duplicate post, but the search option did not seem to be working.

I have a USB device which requires drivers to work. The device works with an application and drivers only availible for Windows. Is it possible to install these drivers on in CrossOver?

We actually have a few posts about USB devices... it seems that this link has given some of our users joy:

Beyond that, the ability to support USB devices beyond applications is difficult. It is not easy to determine the demand for any one of the thousands of devices that exist (in numbers that, when figures in to which programs require them) out number the applications currently in our Compatibility Database.

We are working on some functions (the request to get PDAs, etc to sync through CrossOver is insane!), but can only resign ourselves to devices as the need presents itself.

Our apologies for not having a better answer.

Please Note: This Forum is for non-application specific questions relating to installation/configuration of CrossOver. All application-specific posts to this Forum will be moved to their appropriate Compatibility Center Forum.
