Under what ever OS the box was designed to work with, the operating 
system 'writes' a stream of data to the usb port.  That data is 
interpreted by the box and turned into a signal that is output on the 
boxes ports.  If you can figure out what to write to the USB you should 
be  able to get it to work. 
Did you use a program/driver under the other OS to talk to the box.  If 
so can you run the program under wine or install the driver with 
ndiswrapper?  Is there any Linux support for the box under the 
manufactures website?
