I've changed this line in the vm config file: serial0.fileName = "COM1" which has allowed VMware to detect my serial port. However, I'm not sure what to change this setting to in the VM under Preferences. It's currently set to the path for the port on Linux - entering COM1 under preference doesn't appear to work. Is there a relative path that needs to be entered for Windows? (I'm not a programmer, and I'm not entirely sure how to search for this answer.) Also, does anyone know what I might need to add to the config file in order for the VM to see a USB port? I have the ACG flash reader and am planning on connecting it through USB. Thanks in advance for any help - Jen King UC Berkeley -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Just link your USB Port trough into the VM, the VM Includes USB Drivers for the ACG reader,so you can see an USB-Serial Port inside the VM, and don?t need to install the ACG USB-Serial drivers for the Windows XP host. You need to change the port with RFDUMP to /dev/ttyUSB0 and this should be the trick ...
