    Wine has support serial and parallel ports. They work fine. In recent versions of wine you don’t even have to set anything up. Just run ls -l ~/.wine/dosdevices/com* after running something in wine to see what the com port number is for your device. The ttyACM and ttyUSB ports are USB serial ports. The ttyS ports are hardware serial ports and they will probably show up even if your computer doesn’t have any.

      Whoa, I didn’t know about it. Maybe I can run some legacy plc programming and industrial automation software using wine.
