ok
As you know this group keeps saying oooh yes the BasicX Downloader and compiler
will run on linux under wine..
well thats all fine and dandy but it wont open and download ports!! or monitor
ports !!
I first i thought it was my usb to serial converter so i got a nother one with
the same results . Any one have any answers on how to fix this
Or is all my spare basic X micro controllers now garbage?
Im running linux mint 14 and id realy like to be able to use these agian.. any
one have any ideas for i condem this group and company to hell in my head for
writing a linux application too.

Are you pounding your keyboard? Why the vitriol? Take a breath and look at your system for the culprit.
I just pulled out a BX-24, downloaded some code to it, ran it, and captured the BasicX IDE window for you. You will see that it works. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/91727438/Screenshot-BasicX%20Downloader%20V2.1.png
I use LMDE (Linux Mint Debian), under Wine via an appropriately-modifed (DTR-level-enabled) FTDI USB/serial adapter. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/basicx/message/22182
You should also be able to use a conventional USB/RS232 adapter via a DB-9.
Cool your jets, dude.

i think the most frustrating part here is the fact /dev/ttyUSB0is showing up ...
so its being picked up by linux .... maybe this just a wine thing ..

Have you made a link in ~/.wine/dosdevices to link com1 to /dev/ttlUSB0?
If no, cd to ~/.wine/dosdevices, and do
$ sudo ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 com1
Check to make sure root is the link owner, and add the link to the
dialout group with read/write permissions.
Launch the BasicX IDE and see if you can talk to the /dev/ttyUSB0
adapter via com1 in the IDE.

My Wine version is the same as yours, 1.4.1, apt-get from the standard
repos but with 64-bit assists that are automatically installed on the
first Wine execution. The only other thing that comes to mind is that
you might need to install the standard dlls, which I did via winetricks.
Did you install the BasicX IDE by running its SETUP.exe? If not, do
that; just doubleclick the executable like you would in Windows and let
Wine handle it.
I might have mislead you on the symbolic link ownership; the com1 link
should be owned by the user but /dev/ttyUSB0 must be owned by root and
be in group dialout, read/write.
I have two USB serial adapters on com1 and com3, and Bluetooth serial on
com2. ls -l of ~/.wine/dosdevices shows this on my machine:
mint64ssd1-1 dosdevices # ls -l

Keep at it. You can make it work and it is reliable once you get there.

Another possibility: to get VB6 to run under Wine I installed some
runtime stuff which, I believe, includes Visual Studio scripting
functions. Might be a longshot, but there won't be any damage if you
don't need them to run BasicX.
I could not quickly locate where I found this package so I'm posting the
zip in Dropbox. I assure you it is safe. The zip contains an .exe that
installs the components.
