I have no idea but if i plug in a USB drive, my mac see's it. But the VB gives me the error above the min i plug it in. So theres a setting not correct or a driver issue ?

What programs are you trying to install on your devices that don’t have a cab file anyway?
Also I was wrong about Parallels. It won’t work with XP on m1

I have a bunch of software thats .exe files. I already have a folder of just .cab files of programs and games etc. But theres a decent chunk of software in .exe form id like to install onto some of my palmtops. Im only keeping two of the 14 I have. Jornada 680e and a 690. The rest im selling so im sure a lot of the newer software is in .cab form, but some of the older software is in .exe form.

Also hows everyones luck been with freedos ? Also wanted to get Linux running on one of mine but i dont know for the life of me how to do it.

Are any of the software files you had in the SCL here at HPC:Factor as cabs?

Do you have a list of the programs you have that you need cabs for?

Or if it’s a big list, the top five?

Its a big list lol. I gave up on getting XP and USB to work so i uninstalled all that stuff off my Mac. As i said in another post i found an old laptop but had no AC unit. I spent under $20 for a new AC unit for the laptop with fingers crossed it works still. Also a buddy is giving me a laptop but has a broken screen so i need a monitor lol.

Thanks for all the help tho everyone i appreciate it, was fun trying to get it to work.

What are the top five you need cabs for ?

Im looking for newer version of Pocket DOS that will run on CE 2.11 or earlier, but thats one that is an .exe that i cant find a .cab of. Ill post a few more im looking for.
