Subject: A way to use wine to run eprom updates for DVD drives?

Hi,

The subject says it all. Is there a way to use wine to update the BIOS on DVD drives (and other devices)? When I tried it, it just hung the process.

Or another way, without using Windows (I don't have any MS OS)?

It depends on the brand of your drives: NEC/OPTIARC can be flashed natively
in Linux
thanks to binflash (it can use both exe and bin files).
Don't have NEC.
In other cases, you have to use something like a "Windows live cd" (I don't
remember the link, but you need a copy of the XP install CD anyway) or a
good old DOS floppy boot disk.

That's what I thought, but wanted to check. :-(

Thanks.
