[Elecraft] K3 Firmware Updater under Linux / Wine

Afaik, using a Wine/Linux combo is likely to be a problem because the K3 
utility reconfigures the serial port as needed. I'm fairly sure that 
this is not easily doable, when running Wine. Wine is not a 100% 
implementation of the windows APIs. You might have more luck using a 
virtual computer, e.g. VMware, VirtualBox,  etc. Maybe this will help 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_virtual_machines>.

Elecraft did anounce that there will be a pure Linux version of the 
tool, so eventually you will not need to Windows or MacOS for updating 
your K3.
