How do I make my USB ports work in Virtual PC?  I have a G4 Mac
laptop, and I have done everything listed in terms of turning on USB
and selecting devices in Virtual PC, but the program will just not
recognize USB devices plugged in, whetehr it is a phone or a
blood-glucose monitor.  I've spent days researching this, to no avail.
 I have, by the way, seen the posting at

Hello

The only solution I can come up with is it is only compatible with OS
9.  im not saying that the usb device you are using is only compatible
in OS 9.  what i am saying is that the USB in VPC seems to only work
when booted in OS 9.

good luck.

I have no problems making USB work in VPC6 running Win98 under OS10.3
or 10.4. First make sure that the USB device is plugged in and
switched on. In the menu bar>Window>Virtual PC List, make sure that
"Enable USB" is checked, and select the device. Then in the same
control panel you need to set either the COM1 or COM2 ports to see the
USB device that you have activated. Hope that this works.
