Sorry, didn't see the earlier email. I have gotten it to work with previous versions of VirtualBox but in the current version (2.1.0 I think?) the Passthrough option for optical drives is broken. There is a bug report on it and it seems to be fixed in SVN but I'm not sure when that will translate into a released version.
