Qemu advanced host devices

CD The prefered syntax is the drive letter (e.g. d:'). The alternate syntax\.\d:' is supported. `/dev/cdrom' is

supported as an alias to the first CDROM drive. Currently there is no specific code to handle removable medias, so

it is better to use the change or eject monitor commands to change or eject media. Hard disks Hard disks can be used with the syntax: `\.\PhysicalDriveN' where N is the drive number (0 is the first hard

disk). WARNING: unless you know what you do, it is better to only make READ-ONLY accesses to the hard disk

otherwise you may corrupt your host data (use the `-snapshot' command line so that the modifications are written in

a temporary file).

QEMU emulates a PCI UHCI USB controller. You can virtually plug virtual USB devices or real host USB devices (experimental, works only on Linux hosts)

-usb' Enable the USB driver (will be the default soon)-usbdevice devname' Add the USB device devname. See section 3.9.1 Connecting USB devices.
