PCI Passthrough (VT-D)

Hello,

I'm very interested in finding out if you support VT-D, I haven't been able to find it anywhere on the settings/etc, but the new macbook pros appear to have VMX.
I purchased the upgrade to 9 in the hopes that I could pass a vidock 4+ videocard through a Sonnet Echo Pro ExpressCard/34 Thunderbolt Adapter, as it said you supported thunderbolt devices.

Is there any way to get this working?

I think this would make parallels stand out even more if this setup could work.

Thanks!

Is it possible then for me to get a refund, the only reason I purchased the upgrade was because I read the following on the upgrade page:

"New! Connect Thunderbolt and Firewire devices to either your Mac or your virtual machine – just like you do with USB devices"

This is clearly not a true statement as with USB devices you are performing a passthrough, but this does not occur with Thunderbolt devices otherwise I should get the option to pass the the ExpressCard adapter to the VM.

Thanks again,

Yes, it is a bit misleading, currently it only supports Firewire and Thunderbolt storage devices. Elsewhere, in the video they made showing Parallels features, Parallels does say it is indeed just for storage devices.
