| | Add an external device I'm working with Microsoft Deployment Toolkit using virtual machines, because I don't have the hardware to create an actual test lab. One of the parts I'm interested in is third-party driver deployment. But since Virtual PC guest machines have only hardware known to Windows, I can't test driver deployment. Is there any way to get a virtual machine to recognize a device for which the guest OS has no driver? -- David Stardate 8596.3 |

| | Re: Add an external device No, sorry, it only emulates the specific set of hardware you see, there's no way to add something new. -- Bob Comer On Tue, 05 Aug 2008 15:52:03 -0400, David Trimboli <trimboli@xxxxxx> wrote: Quote: >I'm working with Microsoft Deployment Toolkit using virtual machines, >because I don't have the hardware to create an actual test lab.
