Pointers to develop direct hardware access

[Peter Cost]

I'm new to wine and tried to get the Sonic core Scope software to work 
under wine. The problem I ran into is that there is no support for the 
used PCI hardware. (Sonic core/Creamware Scope PCI card) I researched 
the net and found that wine does not support hardware that does not have 
a proper Linux driver. Found a reference to ReactOS but a test with that 
ended in the well known blue screen.

So I'm looking into making this possible myself but need some pointers 
on where to start.

My thought on this is to create some layer between the actual hardware 
and wine running the Scope driver.

Tried to fool the system by adding the PCI enumerations for this card to 
the wine registry, but the driver installer still says no hardware found.

I have the Scope hardware and the windows software. (Currently using 
windows xp 32bit)

I'm a reasonable skilled programmer with many years of experience in 
both the hardware and the software world.

Thanks for any pointers
