Vista - PDA Sync in VPC2007

09-24-2008

My only reason for trying VPC is to hot sync a PDA. No software for Vista.
I have XP on the VPC. PDA syncs via USB, which of course does not work.
They used to make a serial sync cable. If I can find one, is it likely that
will work?

That's right - Microsoft Virtual PC for Windows does not support USB devices
at all, other than those which can be accessed via standard networking e.g.
USB memory sticks, external USB hard disks etc... Most other software
virtualisation products (e.g. VMWare, VirtualBox, VPC for Mac etc) supports
USB devices natively...

Likely? Yes.

Certain? No.

I believe it is possible to write scripts/programs that send files from the
VPC
to the physical computer, and then to the PDA. Another way is to implement
a network, PC, VPC, and interchange files.

Also, perhaps you need to consider the PPC emulator, that comes
with Visual Studio. If something works there, then you can copy it
to your PDA.
