Directing port traffic
Posted: 29. Jan 2013, 01:26
Hi, I am a newbie at this. I am trying to access a Windows XP hardware USB (com port 4) using VirtualBox. I am trying to use a command:
Vboxmanage modifyvm
with
--uart<1-N> off|<I/O base> <IRQ>
I/O base is 0x2E8, IRQ is 3, and this is COM4
I have the USB plugged into com4 and "vboxmanage list usbhost" gave Port: 0 and Current State: Busy with all the other information typical to the Prolific Technology, Inc. serial to USB adapter from Radio Shack.
My setup is Windows XP host and guest OS is DOS. I'm running a DOS program that uses the serial port and am trying to get it onto USB.
Could I get an example command using the above information? My normal computer is not a PC and I also don't know how to get the vertical line in the command. Sorry for so much info and thank you very much for any help you might be able to give. I'll keep trying in the meantime.
