RE: VMware - Call me thick

[Paul Gale <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Peer,

What kind of PCI devices?

I have some VMWare machines running but have always held off going further
as I always believed all PCI hardware wasn't supported (apart from maybe
serial cards etc?

Thanks,

Paul.

In my experience this has changed. I am using USB devices in VMs. And I
know people are using PCI devices in their VMs.
