If you can boot .ova files (VirtualBox), https://downloads.laboratoryb.org/secure/TechStream_12.20.024-v2.ova, password hacktheplanet/hacktheplanet, is an XP VM with TechStream installed. # Install environment - Fedora, tested on 38, 39 and 40 - An Acer Chromebook C720 was usable, so you need little CPU / RAM / disk space (5GB?) ## Setup ```sh git clone https://github.com/virtio-win/virtio-win-pkg-scripts # TODO Replace this with git submodule? sudo wget https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/virtio-win.repo \ -O /etc/yum.repos.d/virtio-win.repo sudo dnf install -y virtio-win virt-v2v virt-manager sudo systemctl restart libvirtd ``` Then, open Virtual Machine Manager once, authenticating to connect; this initializes the default pool. Close once done. Back to the shell: ``` # Then, as root / with sudo, create the VM in the default pool sudo virt-v2v -i ova /home/mkennedy/Downloads/TechStream_12.20.024-v2.ova -o libvirt -of qcow2 -os default -n default ``` Finally, re-open Virtual Machine Manager. You will see your TechStream install. Double-click to open, then edit Details: - After connecting your Mini-VCI cable to a USB port, go to View > Details > Add Hardware, and select USB Host Device for your device. My Mini-VCI USB device was of USB VID/PID 0403:6001, so the device created in my Hardware bar was "USB 0403:6001". - Delete the virtual NIC (you don't need internet access from within the VM anyways).
