在虚拟机中使用特殊的PCI卡 [英] Using special PCI cards in a virtual machine

问题描述

大家好，



简介

客户有安装了Windows 98的旧Pentium和安装了PC卡，将PC与工厂中的特殊机器连接起来。



今天计算机出现故障并开始表现得很有趣。



客户要我买一台旧电脑再让它恢复工作。



我没有任何程序的源代码在那台PC上运行所以无法重新配置任何东西。



我们可以尝试找一台旧电脑，但我们会给客户一个半生不熟的解决方案：那台电脑可能随时死亡，任何时候我们都无法找到替代品。



想法

能够虚拟化计算机（然后所有配置，因此将自动保存到可以备份的虚拟机）并能够配置虚拟机将会很棒使用我们需要插入新计算机（给定PCi到USB）适配器或直接PCi端口的PCI卡。



问题

上次读到它时，无法将PCi卡用于虚拟化环境。



任何人这里有类似的经历吗？



这是你的建议吗？



我需要用什么东西吗？像VMWARE ESXi或任何普通的虚拟机都可以做到吗？



问候

这就是全部，谢谢你阅读和发布建议。



提前谢谢！



我尝试了什么：



我只搜索互联网上的信息......但我希望获得有关它的更多信息。

Hello all,

Introduction
A customer has an old Pentium with windows 98 installed and a PC card installed that connects the PC against a special machine in their factory.

Today the computer has failed and started acting funny.

The customer has asked me to get an old computer and get it working again.

I don't have any source code of the programs running on that PC so it is not possible to reconfigure anything.

We can try finding an old computer, but we will give the customer a half baked solution: that computer could die at any moment and at any moment we will not be able to find a replacement.

Idea
It would be great to be able to virtualize the computer (then all the configurations and so would be automatically saved into a virtual machine that can be "backupped") and being able to configure the virtual machine to use that PCI card that we would need to plug into the new computer (given a PCi to USB) adaptor or a direct PCi port).

Question
The last time I read about it, it was not possible to use PCi cards into a virtualized environment.

Anyone here has any similar experience?

Which would be your recommendations?

Do I need to use something like VMWARE ESXi or any normal virtual machine can do it?

Greetings
That's all, thank you for reading and for posting suggestions.

Thank you in advance!

What I have tried:

I've only searched for information in the Internet... but I would like to get extra information about it.

推荐答案

啊，我过去一直在同一条船上！我不推荐虚拟机路由，因为a）工作的PCi卡不可靠b）我发现的VM不是那么稳定。 PCi到USB也有一个滞后，我无法解决。是否有可能为他们提供安装了'98的最新PC或者是否需要ISA端口......在这种情况下，临时解决方案是我能想到的唯一解决方案。



对不起caffine点击影响看一些PC104（我曾用于类似问题的公司是英国剑桥的Arcomm，但他们被接管了）卡可能有一两个可能有'98推了在他们身上。

Ahh, I have been in the same boat in the past! I would not recommend the virtual machine route, as a) PCi cards which do work are not reliable b)VM's I have found are not that stable. Also PCi to USB has a lag to it which I was not able to solve. Is it possible to give them an up to date PC with '98 installed or does it need ISA ports...in which case the temp solution is about the only one I can think of.

Sorry caffine hit took affect have a look at some PC104 (company I have used for a similar issue was Arcomm in Cambridge UK but they were taken over) cards there might be one or two that can have '98 shoved on them.
