[gentoo-user] Flashing hardware via WINE ?

Hi,

I have a smart NiMH-charger with serial port (normally used to
dump chargeing curves to the PC).
The chargers firmware can bei flashed with a flashtool provided
by the vendor. The communication is via serial port. I have
a PCI=>serial.ports-card installed in my PC.

The command

    file <flashing tool>

results in this information

    PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows
    
. As Linux user by heart I have no Windows.

May the attempt to install wine and use it for this purpose
a thinkable way or are the precoditions that way, that it
is due to those a NO-NO...?

Does anyone have experience with such an attempt?

Cheers
Meino
