Hi Adam, Yes, that is the linux compatible driver. Specifically, it works through Mono. However, I'm not sure if any existing converters have been updated to make use of it. msconvert is maintained by ProteoWizard, and it might be best to see if they have a linux version that uses those drivers. I am not sure what VM we use for our msconvert via linux, but perhaps someone else on this board knows. Cheers, Mike
