I am running Mac OSx 10.53 VMware Fusion 1.3. I will be upgrading to
2. The Linux version is Fedora 9.0 and it is a
2.6.25.14-108.spk.fc9.x86_64 on an x86_64 (the 64 bit version of
Fedora). This is a specially modified version of the kernel that
allows for the use of speakup that is a linux screen reader (I think
it is Speakup version 2). The speech synthesizer that I'm using is
TTSynth (the old ibm via voice software speech synthesizer sold by
capital accessibility in New Jersey). Apple hardware: macbook 13in,
2.4 dual core processor, 4G of ram, and 250G hard drive. Devices that
I wish to be hooked up to it to work in linux: Imation swivel pro 8G
thumbdrive, 250G Western Digital Passport drive, 1 terrobyte Western
Digital desktop drive. The drive is partitioned into 2 parts a Mac
300G partition and a 600G ntfs partition for Windows. I am using
Indigo virus barrier and net barrier version 5 because I could get in
trouble for sending infected messages on campus. I am also running
File Vault. I also for paragon ntfs for mac that allows me to read and
write from Windows partition. Other partitions on my systems that I
would like to be able to mount is the main Mac OSX partition and the
Windows Vista bootcamp partition that is 85G. For wireless I'm using
the built in wireless care that is on the mac. At home, the wireless
router is an airport express. I'm an IT for the campus, so I move from
lab to lab using the UNC wireless.
p.s.- I have a victor reader stream and a braille sense and there is a
mode you can put it in to act as a drive. I also possess a 30G iPod
classic. If you want to know more feel free to write me back. (if this
conversation goes on too long we may want to take if off list)

Hi,
In that case, you need the Linux Driver. What hardware, and
software, including OS are you running?
Thanks for listening,

Quick clarification, to connect hardware to a vmware machine, OS X
needs to see the hardware but the device does not require an os x
driver in order to be connected to a vm. Note that regardless of
whether you have an os x driver installed or not you will need the
respective windows driver installed in your virtual machine.

Hi, if you are using vmware, then there are buttons in the
virtual machine window that you can VO to and press to get
options for connect and disconnect. There is also a menue on the
menue bar that lists them all and lets you manage them. In order
to connect a piece of hardware, it first needs to be properly
detected by mac OS.

Hello,
I have gotten my virtual machine ready but now I have a
question. How can I mount external devices like a thumb drive
and a 250 gig external usb drive? Any suggestions?
