Hello,

is there an emulator or virtual machine, which would run MS Windows on FreeBSD as a host system and support USB devices? (I do not mean USB Mass Storage,
but e.g. Garmin GPS device with Garmin's MapSource.)

Preferrably some free software.

AFAIK wine cannot support usb devices, VMware Server 1.x does runs only on
linux.

Best regards,
Milan

Based on my experience VMware is the most complete VM that can deliver this. However, there are people working on porting Xen to FreeBSD (CURRENT I believe, not STABLE).

So stay tuned for Xen if you're interested..

Does Qemu do what you want? I'm installing Windows 2000 Professional
inside Qemu for some experiments. I don't know if it fulfils your USB
requirement, but it's free and I hear it runs on FreeBSD pretty well.

Hope this helps,
Adam J Richardson
