devu-uhci seems to work, I was able to copy large file from my memory stick.
VMware 6.0 supports also USB 2.0, so is there any plan to update also devu-ehci?
Thanks.

Re: RE: USB support in VMware
Hi.
I tried the experimental driver(s), and it(they) didn't work for me. I'm trying to mount a USB Flash Drive (VMware
reports "Feiya Removable Disk"). The Flash Drive worked on a real PC running 6.3.2 with the released drivers.
I did the following on a slightly reconfigured version of the virtual machine which is provided on the September 2007
Evaluation DVD:
#ls /dev/h*
/dev/hd0 /dev/hd0t79 /dev/hd1 /dev/hd1t77
#ls /fs
cd0 ms-dos-floppy ramdisk
#slay io-usb
#/root/usb-final/io-usb -d/root/usb-final/devu-uhci.so
# #check io-usb launched, plugin USB drive, acknowledge VMware msg
#ls /dev/h*
/dev/hd0 /dev/hd0t79 /dev/hd1 /dev/hd1t77
#ls /fs
cd0 ms-dos-floppy ramdisk
On a version 5 vm, I tried both with and without the line:
uhci.newCore="FALSE"
I also tried without the line on a version 6 vm.
What am I doing wrong? If I'm doing nothing wrong, can someone provide me with a virutal machine on which this has been
shown to work.
Does USB work any better on the new VMware Server 2 beta?
Thanks,
Craig
