Huh? I used VirtualBox with a MSWindowsXP guest to use a "negatives" scanner that would refuse to work with Sane as the device has some weird initialization routines that need to be controlled by the actual driver. The connection was with USB and worked perfectly. I doubt USB support has disappeared suddenly. -- Joost
