I've posted this elsewhere, but it got buried. Has anyone gotten any USB devices to work through VMWare? If I capture them with VMware, OSX appears to see them in the System Configuration under USB, but doesn't appear to load any drivers for them. I've tried a standard USB hard drive, an iPod, a couple USB flash drives and a USB floppy drive. I also tried removing AppleFPMemDriver extension, but still no luck.

What's the trick?

Worked perfectly for me, i used my USB-flash-drive.

1.8 Ghz P4, 256Mb RAM. USB 1.1

Through VMWare? Really? Interesting.

Ok. I finally got *a* device working. A mitsumi usb floppy drive of all things is recognized and appears on the desktop just fine.

I'm guessing that the problems I've been having are due to the fact that I've been trying mostly USB 2.0 devices. Perhaps the AppleUSBUHCI driver only supports USB 1.1?

Remember, you've got to add USB-emulation (at Edit Virtual Machine settings), and if you connect a USB-device to your PC, you should connect it to your running Guest OS, at VM>Removable Devices>.
