[Qemu-devel] hardware emularion

I was hoping to use qemu for running a virtual instance of a Opersting System
called Theos Corona (www.theos-software.com).  When I boot the install cd in
qemu it probes the printer parallel port for a hardware plug that has the OS key
on it.  If the key matches the CD key, then the installation continues.  For
some reason, even tho I have the plug inserted in the parrallel port, the
install program does not "See" the hardware key.  How do I fix this?  Is there a
way to get qemu to see the plug on the parallel port?  If not there is a USB
version of the hardware key, would that work better?

I don't remember if host parallel port access is possible thru a patch or not.

Normal qemu doesn't support this, so it won't work.

No. Qemu's support for USB is not as good.
