[Elecraft] K3 Memory Editor running under Wine/Linux?

[Dick Dievendorff]

The .Net framework and Windows versions of the Elecraft Utilities discover Com ports through registry key/values defined for this purpose.  Drivers install their names there in Windows. I'm away from my code, and don't recall the exact key but the key has HARDWARE and SERIALCOMM in it. Try this link for the technique

The error message reports that "The PortName cannot be empty" when I attempt "Read from K3".  The drop down com port selector is blank even though  my ~/.wine/dosdevices has the suggested symbolic links:
