    Hi All,

    I bought Parallels Workstation for Win32 in November 2005 for one reason. I wanted to emulated a PC for a 'hobby' project.

    I have worked at this 'hobby' for several years, on and off (time and commitments permitting).

    I have also found Parallels Workstation 99.9% perfect for my needs! :)

    However, there is one thing missing, as far as I can see, for developers. How can one pump debug information from the Guest OS to the Host OS?

    Forget virtual serial ports etc...

    Is it at all possible to 'interface' with Parallels on the Host side? Is there an IO port which will send any data sent to it to the standard Win32 debug stream (ie. series of OUT op codes on a particular port which is forwarded ultimately to 'OutputDebugString')?

    Thanks in advance

    No, there is no special I/O port, but you can use serial ports for debug
