I know:
To configure the LPT1 port for a virtual machine
Open Virtual PC Console.
In the list of virtual machines, click the virtual machine on which
you want to configure the LPT1 port, and then click Settings.
In the Settings dialog box, click LPT1, click Physical parallel port,
and then click the name of the port in the list.
HOWEVER, there is no port name listed when I run VPC (sp1) on a laptop such
as IBM T40 or T40P. It only shows a port name on other IBM desktops.
Does anyone know how to get around this problem, I need it for a hardware
dongle.
 
Wrong group. Ask them here.
