You can allow Wine to access hardware ports , like in ~/.win/config:
[ports]
"read" = "0x378-0x37f"
"write" = "0x378-0x37f"
You must run wine as root so that wine can actually access the ports.
I once implemented a user level ports access schem with parports
ppdev. Should sometimes revive this, as ppdev is in 2.4. However ther are
few usefull/usable programs that need port access, as mostly only win31 code
uses in and out commands outside of unsupported Ring 0 code.
