will VirtualBox support parallel port(LPT) in later version?

Post by LinuxIsHard »

Hi,
I'm using VirtualBox 2.2.4, host OS is SLED10 SP2, guest OS is Windows XP SP2, everything is perfect except that it's not support parallel port share, due to I have to use it for FPGA JTAG I hope VirtualBox will support it later.
