The list of known issues is - list of open bugs in bugzilla. Because the are LOTS of individual pieces in Windows it's impossible to have a list of what's implemented and what's not implemented.

You need to test this first. Wine still have some issues with serial ports. And some users reported some incompatibilities between Windows' and Linux's serial port implementations that Wine can't work around.

Shouldn't be a problem but specifics needs to be tested. Some apps' bugs being exposed by Wine because of subtle differences in the way things work on Linux vs Windows.
