Hi all,
Currently running Ubuntu 8.04 and in order to use a USB thumbdrive under VirtualBox one has to share the thumbdrive on your host machine. In your client machine you can then browse your "Workgroup" under network shares and then access the thumbdrive contents from there. Possibly one could try the same approach with QEMU under OS/2 eCS.
Just setup OS/2 Warp4 as a client under Ubuntu VBox and can access my thumbdrive over the network even though Warp4 does not have native support for USB devices, unless one has a Software subscription so far I understand to get access to the drivers for Warp4. One also has to have a CPU supporting the VT extensions in order to install OS/2 eCS as a client it seems.
Update... it appears I need to share my old HP Deskjet 695 printer under the host to gain access to it from my OS/2 client.
Sad news possibility IBM to purchase Sun, hope they keep Virtual Box Open Source in the event they do take Sun.
Cheers.
