Need to use USB devices, What are my options?

We have engineers that would like to use VPC to run the Programming
software, though they use a USB Adapter to communicate to the Hardware they
are controlling.

I've seen some references to Virtual PC 2004 not supporting USB Devices.
Does Virtual Server 2005? What about Virtual Server 2007? When is it due
out??

It looks as though VMWare supports up to 2 USB devices?

Thanks,
Scott<-

The only way is using an USB over IP solution.

Parallels Workstation also supports USB and it's a heck of a lot

VMWare supports (as you say) up to two devices, I've tried it with regular USB Memory sticks, USB Hard drives and USB-RS232 converter and they all works well.

I suggest you download and try the free VMWare Server.

I understod his question,...he didn't ask and I didn't mention VMWare Workstation, you did.
VMWare Server is supporting USB-devices and is free, that what I tried to tell the OP.
