Sadly, I don't think so. The packet driver sets the io area at 0x300. If I try a PCI card with a PCI packet driver (e.g. the Intel E1000) then there is no way to set the io area. I can't remember much about the way DOS stuff used to work, but I'm guessing that the application using the network...

I tried that, but there is an error stating that this card cannot be put on a PCI bus. It there a way to add an ISA bus?

I see from the Proxmox documentation (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Qm_manual) that Qemu emulates a NE2000 ISA network card. I need this card for a legacy DOS application. How can I use this in Proxmox?

Thanks Tom. Is there a way to reduce the priority of making a backup? I'm not interested in speed really, I'd just like to reduce the impact of making a backup on the whole system.

To change the default settings for vzdump, can I just remove the # from the front of the item in vzdump.conf? For example, #ionice: PRI to ionice: 10 ? If this is the way it works, does that add 10 to the default (I think it's 7) or does it set ionice to 10?

It's pretty clear... http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/15742-Details-about-the-new-pve-no-subscripton-repository?p=80959#post80959

Try using the search facility. This has been discussed ad nauseum for weeks now.

Re: how to find which virtio drivers version is installed in windows? Just extract the files from the iso. Then you can check the version numbers. For example, 0.1-52 viostor.sys in the Win7/x86 folder is version 61.64.104.5200. For the 0.1-65 iso, the same file is version 61.65.104.6500. It...

I think that Windows loads all the drivers in the system\drivers folder, even if they are not used. I just looked at mine using http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html and there are loaded drivers that I am not using. Maybe when you changed the driver you didn't delete it as well, but left...

Re: how to find which virtio drivers version is installed in windows? I think if you look further down in Device manager and go to Storage Controllers/Red Hat VirtIO SCSI Controller, you can get the driver version from there.

I just checked. We have a Windows XP VM that has the USB device connected to it with the entry in the conf file, not via the monitor. So it has a USB 2.0 hub. The CPU utilisation reported by the VM itself is around 1-2% when you are not doing anything. From the web interface, it reports around...

I'm using a USB device (well, it's a USB PCMCIA card writer) with a conf file setting of usb1: host=0781:5406 and I don't see any high CPU activity in Windows XP. I have found that the syntax... device_add usb-host,id=whateveryouwant,vendorid=0x0461,productid=0x0010 (note you need 0x in...

In your case, USB device 090c:1000 the vendorID is 0x090c and the deviceID is 0x1000
