Re: Virtualize USB Port Through IBM i

Believe it or not I have never tried this.

But the thing is treated as an optical device so I wonder if you could add the device name to the NWSD and share it to a guest? My guess is this won't work but worth a try.

You should be able to share the directory it mounts but that's rather indirect.

I see TAPE/OPTICAL just fine through my separate NWSD dedicated for those
devices.

But USB?
