Hello, I have suffered the same fate in beta6 as in beta5 for usb devices ... I have a Sandisk Ultra II SD USB plus card. The first few times I plug it on to the USB, windows pops saying USB2.0 runs faster in .. blah blah ... and then, a sustained "ding" sound .... So, no luck. Do it again a few more time, it manages to detect it's a disk drive ... but did not manage to get to My Computer .. and then finally, i can see the drive, but response is extremely slow ... and it also hang the VM. And this time, i can see some files on the drive, but try to play an MP3 via itunes, it hang the VM again ... I was wondering if Parallel will support high speed USB devices in the future ? And make USB more seemless in VM ??? It would also be great if we can make use of the DVD writer on the MBP (running windows in VM), so that we can burn CDRs or DVD-Rs .... Thanks. I am a supporter of Parallel, andI have placed my $40 a while ago. Albert
