Hi Keith, I do have a 2nd cd writer which VMware fails to see on initial installation. I set it up as a scsi cdrom device and I can read from it, but have yet not tried to write to it. Since I use gcombust, etc, it is a lower priority for me and I haven't searched the website or asked them about support for it. Also, I get no sound. But I really don't need it for those things yet. I want to set up a win98 version for my son to use his educational software with, and that will need sound. I'll let you know when I get to that point.
I also have problems with /dev/lp0, so for now I am using Samba to print, but I eventually want to understand why it can't connect to that port. Again, even with these limitations, the fact that it runs without booting into a specialized kernel is a plus to me. Not that I have time to roll my own, but I want to be able to play without having to worry that I can't run my critical window's apps. Hope this helps Keith Antoine wrote: >> On Saturday 17 November 2001 03:20, Susan Macchia enunciated: >> I would highly recommend VMware.
