Michael, I tried the above and I broke my VM. I tried a few things with permissions but very quickly got out of my depth. I do have a /dev/parport0 which I assume is the device node of the parallel port. The error message is shown below. I don't know how to interpret it. cheers, David Unknown error creating VM. VBox status code: -2103 (VERR_CFGM_VALUE_NOT_FOUND).
