- Thread-topic: [Fed-Talk] Parallels VM Emulator
One of the guys in the office was using it yesterday on his MacBook but
couldn't get Parallels to pickup his USB Smart Card reader (SCR331) for his
CAC so he scrapped it for now. I don't have the details but I know he
bounced around their web site a bunch and tried a few things to get it going
all without any luck.
The datasheet for 2.1 indicates support for USB devices however I'm not up
to speed on possible issues with the beta.
