Hi folks, I'm thinking of picking this up to get a firmware loader working through the serial ports for my Digifly Vario.
I see that wine.inf (via wineboot) does create \DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM. The entries COM1 etc are never populated, however. In theory one simply scans .wine/dosdevices for com ports people have symlinked. I think mountmgr.sys type implementation is too much: either the symlink is there, or it's not.
However, at the moment, something is wiping the SERIALCOMM and PARALLEL PORTS entries: I think it might be create_scsi_entry code in dlls/kernel/oldconfig.c.
According to Microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/kb/102988/en-us this part of the registry (HKLM\hardware) gets wiped each time windows starts.
If you are working on this great - sooner the better please :-)
