Right. I forgot about that one.

Did that. The Enable USB Controller check box is no longer grayed out. I 
changed the radio button from USB 1.1 to USB 2.0, but when the virtual 
machine is running, it still doesn't see any USB devices. I'm pretty 
sure this device doesn't need USB 2. I think it's been around since 
before USB 2. All it is is three switches, so there's no particular need 
for a higher speed interface. I had forgotten that I have Express 
Scribe, a piece of transcription software that runs on Win2K. I tried 
running it and setting up the foot pedal, but it doesn't see it either. 
(Not surprising.)
