Hello Michael, Thank you very much for pointing to the virtio driver package for windows. It does have the vioser-test utility.

If so the source code is available here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/kvm-guest-drivers-windows.git Amit's virtio-serial test suite is also available for reference: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtioSerial#How_To_Test I'm not sure how applicable it is for windows though. > > Thanks in advance. > > sl > >
