It depends very much on the devices. For example, most external serial modems have Windows drivers, but work fine without them in Linux. What equipment do you have?

Do you mean "can I write to the windows partition"? Linux can write to fat32 (the filesystem on Windows 95,98,ME) just fine, but can only read ntfs (filesystem on NT, 2000,XP). Windows itself can't read Linux partitions, although there is some shareware which will enable it to.
