It would be good advice if only storage devices posed a problem.

Yeah, the USB 2.0 support seems to be broken with some chipsets and/or devices. Best to turn off the USB 2.0 support if you need to access a USB device. It'll be slower, but it'll work. One would think they would have concentrated on fixing that... Just one of the reasons VMware will most likely be my primary virtualization solution for the forseeable future.
