RE: Virtualisation

[Paul Gale <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was looking to do the same but the big stumbling block is the
capture cards which to the best of my knowledge just wont be supported in
any of the virtualisation o/s's I've researched. Not so sure about the
serial cards though - that may be more likely - anyone know if multi-port
cards are likely to be supported?
