Yes, i've done it with thumb drives, as well as an old HandSpring Visor (PalmOS PDA) on WindowsXP SP3 and (thumb drive only) Windows7 (64-bit), hosting on 64-bit Ubuntu 10.11. Once upon a time, one had to use the closed-source edition of VirtualBox rather than VirtualBox OSE in order to get USB support. i'm not sure whether that's still the case. ________________________________________ Joe Shisei Niski Portland, Oregon, USA 至誠 _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
