    The main 'trap' usually would be the SCSI Driver.

    If you're using PVSCSI, go into SCSI & RAID, then SCSI

Do you know which one workstation uses? AFAICT there's no
option to choose which controller is presented to the guest.

By default Workstation emulates a Fusion SCSI device and the 
PCNet or E1000 network card, and doesn't supply an option to 
change them. But as of v7 it *does* support the other device 
types. If you edit the .vmx file in a text editor and change 
the device lines for the scsi and eth devices to 'pvscsi' 
and 'vmxnet3' and reboot they will appear correctly.
