I installed rdesktop because the Microsoft program will only allow one connection at a time, and I sometimes need more.

Or you can do as I did and set those to Command-F9 through Command-F12.

Richard, try hitting and releasing the command key a couple of times, all by itself.

Yep. To get an image file on a Linux box, stick the floppy in the drive, then issue the command dd if=/dev/fd0 of=(filename).vfd bs=18k as root (or, if it's set up, you can use sudo). The expected response is 80+0 blocks in 80+0 blocks out followed by a shell prompt. That means all 80 tracks...

If that's all it is, then you should be able to create a floppy image file with dd. I'll try that as soon as my download of Beta6 with the hotfix finishes.

Vanderpool is the name fo the feature in the Intel Mac (formally, Virtualization Technology-x) that allows the operating system running under Parallels or a similar package to gain control of the host CPU. No emulation is necessary or involved. I can't tell you why SQL Express isn't finding the...

I agree completely. While Parallels Worksstation isn't an open source product, they've learned one lesson from the open source world: release early and often. This gives the rest of us a way to get our hands on the product and learn about it in the only way that truly matters. I, too, have sent...

1) My company is moving to an all-in-one management package whose client only runs on Windows. This is where Boot Camp falls down for me: I'd have to reboot to use it. Parallels fixes that problem. 2) I'm the project leader for an open source software package, Hercules, that has distribution...

It's even easier: VM->Install Parallels Tools...

Yes, it would be nifty...I might actually find something to program my FT857 with. ...Jay, K5ZC

Not supported yet in the beta. It's coming.

Well, it would keep Parallels from *using* the native (Boot Camp) install, but Parallels should be able to access it as D:, at least. This is one of those features they say will be in the final version, but isn't in the beta yet.

When you click inside the console window, the OS running in the virtual machine is responsible for displaying the cursor. If you have no running OS, you won't have a mouse cursor either. To get it back, hit Coltrol and Option (which is Alt, as well, to the guest OS) at the same time, then release.

Full screen mode is not supported in the current beta release. Parallels has said it will be supported in a later release.

How is the floppy attached to your system? If there's a /dev/... file that points to it, you can create a .fdd file by doing "dd if=/dev/... of=file.fdd bs=18k" in a Terminal window. I don't have a floppy drive on any of my Macs, so I can't get more specific than that.

No problems here...I set a manual IP address and went on. It just worked.

With the VM stopped (shut down XP), bring up the properties page, click on Network Adapter, then change en0 to en1 in the selection list.

That, and a few FAQs (enabling Airport (and avoiding the Ethernet panic), swapping real CDs, improving graphics performance by stepping acceleration down...)

It's a beta. They've said they're workign on USB support, and I would expect Firewire support as well - it's the same class of problem.

Start Parallels with a CD in the drive. Once it's up, you can use Devices->CD/DVD-ROM 1->Disconnect to tell XP it's ejected, and then eject it from the drive with the Eject key. If you want to insert another disk, just stuff it in the drive, wait till Mac OS X mounts it and shows it on the...
