Randstar, what USB device do you want to hook up? I have a USB 2.0 hard drive enclosure that has worked from day 1 with Parallels Desktop, regardless of the version. Some devices aren't working, so I guess it depends on what you're trying to use with Parallels on the USB issue.
With all the versions and incremental features being implemented with each release, I'm finding it a bit vapid to try to carry discussions in here. In my book, you should be trying the latest version, and that's the RC release. In any case, I think it's important to tell us what version you are trying things on the first you post. Usually I make it a point not to respond to folks that are using 1970, since it is doesn't have the latest features that these newer BETAs and RC have. I really should know better, but it just slips my mind.
Anyway, I'm sorry for misleading you about what you can do. I am using the BETAs as they come out, and though I don't use the VM a whole lot, when I do, everything works just fine for what I need or want to do. I had problems with the mouse and video drivers, but from participating here in these discussions I have found the remedy. So I guess good luck and stick around.
