BTW you can run 16-bit Windows apps in Wine under 64-bit Linux, provided your kernel version is <= 3.13, or >= 3.15 and you disable a security enhancement preventing 16-bit code execution by issuing (from root, possibly in your start-up scripts):

  echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16

Some 16-bit programs under Wine might also need:

  echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr

Edit: not sure about kernel version 3.14.

Is it possible to run 16-bit Windows applications in Wine on the Windows Subsystem for Linux?

The "kernel" there is written by Microsoft and is kind of wonky. Stuff like FTDI cables don't even work the way you would expect.
