Hello, Before I loose hours trying to get this to work this weekend. Would anyone know about getting freedos to recognize USB security dongles?
I use a HASP USB security dongle <https://blog.eight02.com/2011/04/aladdin-hasp-security-dongles-usb-over.html> to activate an old software program. I want to run that program from FreeDOS running in a Virtualbox VM. Lets say I connect the USB dongle to my Win 10 host that is running the VM. Will the FreeDOS OS (or the OS could maybe be Win 7 instead) running in the VM be able to see that HASP USB security dongle and the program running in that VM get activated for use? >From my reading it can be done in Virtualbox but not sure if freedos will recognize the usb drivers or would I need to install them in the guest as well as the host which will be Win 10.
