Hi.
1.)
Referring to networking, and using own (Etherboot or any other network boot code, ...), I figured out many further interesting nonofficial switches, which were not known before.
The most interesting of the new switches are following:
e1000bios.filename = "path/filename to an external Intel E1000 network boot ROM"
nbios.filename = "path/filename to an external AMD LANCE network boot ROM"
nxbios.filename = "path/filename to an external VMXNET network boot ROM"
Examples:
ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet0.startConnected = "TRUE"
ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged"
e1000bios.filename = "C:\bios\eb-5.4.2-e1000-82545em-copper.zrom"
ethernet1.present = "TRUE"
ethernet1.virtualDev = "vlance"
ethernet1.startConnected = "TRUE"
ethernet1.connectionType = "bridged"
nbios.filename = "C:\Program files\VMware\VMware Workstation\vlance-org.bin"
ethernet2.present = "TRUE"
ethernet2.virtualDev = "vmxnet"
ethernet2.startConnected = "TRUE"
ethernet2.connectionType = "bridged"
nxbios.filename = "C:\Program files\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware-vmxnet-org.bin"
For the Etherboot mailing list, I also prepared a small article and a nice animation:

2.)
Referring to the USB stuff, I also took a memory dump ( suspend / pause VMware emulation to get a memory dump) and I could not find any USB related string / USB related code at 000DC000h .
I just could find the VGA BIOS at 000C0000h.
Could you list 16...64 Bytes (hex code) from 000DC000h of your memory dump here?
Are there typical (USB related) strings from 000DC000 - 000EFFFF in your memory dump?
