"Direct hardware access" works under wine if you are root and if you allow the accessed hardware ports in wine. However since Win95 no programm uses direct hardware access. The programs use drivers, and you can't run these drivers in wine. > For example, you cannot record CD or DVD > using Windows software under WINE. You can. Whether wine's ASPI is suitable for a firmware update, you will not know until you try. This may leave you with a bricked firmware, if things go wrong.
