100% agree! I use VMWare Fusion myself running windows 7 and I am working with unusual USB devices quite a lot. I have never come accross a single device which failed to connect to the VM. As silly as it may sound: Does the dialog come up which let's you chose where to connect the device to, MAC or VM? It has a checkbox letting you remember your choice, did you by chance make the wrong selection persistent? /Roland
