    Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3036 Beta is available for download.

    I concur WHOLEHEARTEDLY! The product and it's development has been terrific, but I want/need to run processor-intensive applications for which I have a Mac Pro tower. When 8 cores become formally supported, I'll go there. The clear move in the industry to multiple cores should not leave...

    Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3036 Beta is available for download.

    Of course I meant cores instead of processors. When 8-core machines are available next year, It'd be great if this means that I can run more VM's efficiently! Matt

    Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3036 Beta is available for download.

    Processing Allocation with multiple VMs running Folks, I've got a Mac Pro with 4 processors. If I run multiple virtual machines, will their processing load be pread over all four processors? Will each VM go to a different processor? How is the load shared? Has this changed at all in...

    Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3036 Beta is available for download.

    Ah yes. The obvious approach. Don't know what I was thinking, but Thanks! Indeed: Interface 1 is eth0, Interface 2 is eth1, Interface 3 is eth2, etc.

    Multiple NICS: Which one is which? Tim and Andrew, Now that we have multiple NICS :) , how do we know which is which within the guest OS? In my case, I am using Redhat ES 4. I have eth0, eth1, and eth2. I don't know which Network adapter connects to which so that I can place the right...

    Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3036 Beta is available for download.

    Andrew, Is there any information on the minimum memory value that must be manually set to get a Mac Pro to operate? It is clear from my experience and from other posts that the number is not consistent. If you set the value higher, does that mean that less memory is available for other...

    Lost my Cursor!!

    I had the same thing happen to me after the VM crashed while booting (a result of the build 3036 Mac Pro Manual Memory settings bug). IN my case, if the mouse was *not* over the VM when it started, it worked, but once captured by the VM, the mouse went away and could not be recovered by the Mac...

    Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3036 Beta is available for download.

    I have the same freeze-and-must-reboot problem. I have to manually set memory above 1280 (1540 works, 1280 did not) to tun a windows xp vm. Mac Pro 2x3Ghz, 3GB memory

    Virtual Machine loses keyboard focus

    I'm having a similar problem. Started one VM in Win2K, another in WinXP. The second VM to start booted up and appears to be running (clock is incrementing), but I can't put keyboard focus into the VM. In addition, none of the UI buttons work and *ALL* of the Parallels menu items are greyed out -...

    Connect two VMs via virtual serial port

    I tried this in an earlier beta and it did not work. I posted about it but did not see any responses. Data moved in one direction (server to client, I think), but not the other. Has something been doe to fix this in later beta's? Matt

    Clipboard Support

    In an earlier Beta, copying >128k caused a crash. (I don't recall now whether a panic or just a VM crash) Has this been fixed?

    Five days left on Trial Activation Key - Solution?

    I also got the same key. Started from Beta1 and pre-ordered as well. Also never got anything about my pre-order. . .

    DOS and/or older windows?

    I've been running a number of DOS 6.22 items, including some embedded stuff. The worst that I've seen is some interesting loading and timing issues when the DOS program is in a processor-intesive loop and when waiting ofr interrupts from the hardware PIT timer and serial ports. Not too...

    Disk Image Resizing Problem

    There is a freeware tool called presizer that will add unused space to a partition. It's a DOS program that you put on a floppy image so that you can boot from the floppy (freeing up the .hdd image) and then update the partition to add any contiguous free space. I use this in conjunction with...

    Hard drive isn't big enough

    I solved this as follows for FAT32 partitions (dynamic sized): 1) download the following freeware (google to find): g4u - this is ghost for unix and will copy a FAT32 drive presizer - this will will resize the copied drive/partition to use the added space 2) create a new...

    Some Issues with DOS - keyboard, serial, performance

    Under DOS, sometimes pressing the caps-lock key (using a MBP) and then pressing it again seems to leave caps-lock on - alpha keys are capitalized even though the caps lock key is off (as verified in the host OS). I'm pretty sure that pressing it again makes everything lower-case, even though the...

    Remap Com1/2 to a TCP socket ....

    The "pipe" is apparently a named stream. If you search for "SerialClient" in the forum, you will find someone that has been able to attach to this stream to create real serial connections via Keyspan USB-to-Serial adpaters. I have attemped to create two VM's that used the same "pipe" to talk to...
