Can you actually use these cards on a linux powered system?

Ironically, last I checked it seemed they are they for winbloze only :(

The article states "will come with Linux SDKs", so I'm assuming that these guys are trying to get this working in Linux. I believe that's a good thing :)

But 'comes with Linux SDKS' implies they are not Linux-supported out of the box.

One might assume these folks are experienced with Winders, but not GNU/Linux maybe? One of those, we don't know about that, but here, you can do it yourself sort of deals.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt I'd say that's right, but, I'm also thinking that they may be hoping that someone picks this up as a project and gets it working. Having the only cards that work with Linux wouild be a big plus for their sales, and they may have that without spending for the programming.
