    Hi folks,

    Is there any chance of a permanent connection to USB devices in PDfM? When I like to add USB devices they usually get connected to Windows instead of the Mac.

    This is especially annoying when I plug a keyboard and cannot enter my password because the keyboard is primarily connected to Windows. This leads to opening the Macbook, switch keyboard to Mac, then close Macbook, wait until it falls asleep, wake it up and finally - after 3 minutes - enter my password with external keyboard,

    The only thing that really sucks...

    Regards and thanks for hints
    H.

    You can disable USB auto connect options:
    in RC2(3150 build) Configuration Editor=>USB Controller=>disable "Connect USB devices automatically".

    Yes, that works and better than before.

    But it I have to manually add my Dell Axim PDA each time. So I still think that my feature request of "mapping" certain devices to either host or guest would be good idea
