I'm using Workstation v6.5.3 on SUSE SLED v11.0 and mostly XP Pro Guests.

The problem is my XP Pro guests will not see most USD devices. Thumb drives work but run at USB v1 speed. My Sony camera and TomTom GPS are seen by the guest OS by name and say they will run at slower USB v1 speed, but never become available to the guest OS as a device.

Workstation v6.5.3 does support USB v2 doesn't it?

Thanks for the help in advance.
