the driver reads the system's version, build number and service pack, and 
fails to load on an unknown platform, but it otherwise ignores the 
information. Furthermore, its runtime requirements are very limited - I 
estimate an evening of work at most to run it on Wine, since we already have:
  - a PE loader
  - support for SEH
  - a DDK

I believe this is the case
