Re: RH on winxp

I'm running XP with SP2 and 3.5 on my desktop.  Tried setting it up on my laptop, to make it a dedicated computer for my printer,  but I couldn't get it to connect even with SP2 and 3.5.  Fixing to reinstall XP on my laptop and start over. 

On a side note, a buddy of mine wonders if my laptop is too old... or rather if my usb ports are too outdated.  Does anyone know if the SD connect to USB 1.0?

Has anyone tried using the Solidoodle form a XP virtual machine? There have been a few people asking about that.

Re: RH on winxp

I've been using RH in a Win7 VMware virtual machine just fine. But I'm only using it as a slicer. Not for printing. But it should work for printing. The only potential I could see for a problem in printing would [possibly] be millisecond delays as the gcode traverses the virtualized environment and passes thru the physical hardware to the device.

I had been using an WinXP SP2 VM in the same capacity previously before I changed to a new VM.

Did you have a specific VM question?
I assume you're probably running XP as a VM within Mac?
If its going to lead off topic, lets open a new post and notif me.
