For direct port access first you must run as root, second you must
include the ports in your .wine/config file. Something like:

[ports]
"read" = "0x278-0x27a,0x378-0x37a"
"write" = "0x278-0x27a,0x378-0x37a"

Adding --debugmsg +int,+io will give you details which ports the
program tries to read/write
