USB device

Hello to all users.
I can not find a solution to my problem.
How to forward a USB device to a guest system if the device is incompatible with the main system?
Sorry for my English)

Use a filter. It doesn't matter if your host can "understand" the device. It only needs to "forward" the device to the guest.

I understood correctly? If the USB device is not supported by the main system, but is supported by the guest system, then you need to remove it from the main system, not physically disconnect, create an empty filter, and then decide it in the guest system?

Software data will be later.

Here's the procedure:

1. You plug the device to the host. It doesn't matter if the host doesn't know what to do with the device.
2. In VirtualBox you create a USB filter with the Name, VendorID and ProductID values only, delete the rest.
3. Unplug the device.
4. Start your guest.
5. Plug the device.

Note: in some cases, especially when the device isn't used by the host, it may not be necessary to unplug/plug the device. Simply the action of starting the VM captures the device. It all depends on host/guest/device. Try what works for your case.

Excuse me, but what in the seven kingdoms is that? That's not what I asked for, is it? Please follow the instructions that I gave you, and give me the information that I want. I'll repeat the whole thing once more, read it closely this time, OK?

Good day.
When I entered the "VBoxManage list usbfilters" command for the first time, I forgot to save the results.
And when you re-enter a new command line window, the result disappeared. What to do?

Main system version: Windows 8.1 x64
Virtualbox: Version 6.0.8 of r130520 (Qt5.6.2)
Guest version: Windows XP Professional 2002 SP 3

I would like to see the "recipe" of the VM, the ".vbox" file:

1. Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager. Select "Show in Explorer".
2. ZIP the selected ".vbox" file and attach it to your response.

From the log I see the following that you need to fix.

00:00:07.871777 [/USB/Msd/7/] (level 3)

You've added 8 (EIGHT) USB controllers to your VM? Why? Please delete them.
