Then a few seconds later, a notifier pops up over the VirtualBox window, with the caption 'Starting virtual machine.
' dropdown appears in the VM window, with no progress shown in the progress bar. But when I try to start my WinXP VM, the 'Starting virtual machine. Port File/Path: /dev/tty.PL2303-0000101D (the device node that appears when I plug in the USB-to-Serial cable).The packet radio applications I intend to run under WinXP want to communicate with the TNC via a COM port, so in VirtualBox's 'Machine->Settings.' dialog, 'Ports' tab, 'Serial Ports' sub-tab, 'Port 1' sub-sub-tab, I select the following: I know that the cable+driver combination work on the host, because I can connect to the TNC using the 'screen' VT100 terminal emulator application, type commands at it, and get good responses back. Peripheral: USB-to-Serial converter cable (using the pl2303 driver) connected to a Tracker2 TNC (packet radio modem).Host: MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.8 and VirtualBox OSE 4.0.4.I have a similar problem, so bumping the thread and hoping for some response. Disappointing to see no replies to this post.
