[Asterisk-Users] yet another Asterisk and VMware question

[Bruce Leetch]

I did find this on the VMware wish list re Asterisk and PCI slots. I'm not
holding my breath.

I guess I'll drum up an PC from spares.

It's not going to work. Vmware presents a complete Virtual PC, so unless 
EMC / Vmware release drivers to specifically connect the Virtual PC to the 
real PC hardware, you are in trouble. The do a pass-through w/ USB, Serial 
and Paralell, but those are a different story.

I'm afraid that under any Virtual platform (CoLinux, Vmware, MS Virutal 
PC) you are SOL as far as real access to hardware on the host PCI bus 
w/out special drivers written specifically for that purpose. On the other 
hand, I'm sure that Vmware would be happy to help you out if you gave them 
a couple of million bucks! ;)
