I was trying to flash an HP 40 to WP34S today and no great success (and limited time) using a Windows PC at work. As I only have a Mac at home I was going to try again using WINE (Codeweavers version) as I've read here that this has been successful.
The problem I was having starting SAM-BA were all about communication errors. I was using both a direct COM port and a USB converter and SAM-BA 2.11.
The ATMEL SAM-BA software crashed with a runtime error whenever I stated it. Does it need any additional software to run under WINE?
I also looked at Bossa and wondered if this might work.

The motivation behind BOSSA is to create a simple, easy-to-use, open source utility to replace Atmel's SAM-BA software
Has anyone tried this?
