Quoting "Thomas Sailer" <sailer(a)sailer.dynip.lugs.ch>:
Also, I have a strange card reader which I would love to use under some
form of virtualisation, as the accompanying application only runs under
very old versions of windows.
The card reader has the misfeature that it requires firmware to be
loaded by the PC. To get the firmware, it connects, waits about 4
seconds, and if it doesn't get anything it disconnects and reconnects
again. Now qemu/kvm is currently much too slow for this, until the host
notices the USB device and hands it over to the guest, about 5-10sec
pass.
Tom
I'd suggest you purchase a new card reader. You do realize you can
pick them up for around $10?
If I had a card reader with that much drama just to get it to operate,
it'd be out the door in no time!
Cheers
Chris Jones
