I heard that the GQ-4x worked okay if you ran it in a VM, so went ahead and bought once, since it seems like the adapters I need for my Data I/O are never going to turn up.

The only version they seem to sell now is v4, aka GQ-4x4, and it doesn't seem to work in VirtualBox. Got the drivers and software installed, but when I launch the programming application, it hangs while initializing the programmer. Tried on a Linux desktop and Mac laptop, same results. Tried both 32 and 64-bit WinXP, no difference.

Gave up and installed WinXP on a spare machine I had, and it worked fine there.

Thoughts? I was really hoping not to need a whole machine to drive this device.
