After testing a little more extensively: Host is -current (SVN r218976) on an aging Toshiba laptop (T2300 CPU) With a 2.5" SATA drive attached to a SunPlus USB2 to SATA bridge: Guests that work are: Windows XP (SP3?), Windows XP MCE Guests that don't: Windows Server 2003, Windows-7, Windows 7 SP1, CentOS 5.5 The failing Windows guests complain that the service 'USBSTOR' won't start. Under 'Device Manager', the 'USB Mass Storage' driver does appear but with a (triangular yellow) warning symbol. Same results with a 4GB Verbatim Store'n'Go USB stick. Even so - I think this is a *huge* step forward :-) imb -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk1lzbIACgkQQv9rrgRC1JKzAwCgjBHE/a5S+Cyua0bVrUaV2mV7 I+UAn0vVZBLFQmkDVZIz1Rf7SIpGkanU =y5H/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
