Now I'm aware VMware can not emulate firewire ports, why I'm not really sure but its very inconvenient. Now what I need to do though is run quite a few Windows XP VM's running very expensive software that requires a network connection and firewire camera's. Now we can't leave these XP machines on the network past a year, but we can virtualize them. What I need is a solution, is there anyway to give VMware direct hardware access to the firewire card instead of the impossibility of virtualizing the interface. Converting it before entering the machine would work all good and well but the same problem occurs as the software we use only checks for the camera's via firewire. If VMware can't do this, is there another virtual machine software that can?
