HP-50G Calculator

Has anyone gotten connectivity via USB in XP with Fusion? I assign the USB device to XP and that seems to work fine. The USB driver and Connect program install in XP fine but when I try to connect to the calculator the app becomes unresponsive and has to be killed with Task Manager.

Yes - in fact this is the only USB device of many I use that has failed to work. A bit of a surprise, actually. This is Fusion version 1.1.3.

Can you get a USB log as in ? Remember to enable debugging while doing this.

Another day, another result Smiley Happy After shutting down XP, adding the logging statement and restarting, it's working fine. I'll examine the log and see if there is any clue as to what happened, but while I can't explain the success I'll take it!

Interesting. You might want to make a backup of the working virtual machine (just in case) and try other combinations, like removing the log statement or disabling debugging. Another possibility is if this only works intermittently, or if there was a one-time problem before.
