POSPAC and POSGPS is Windows based software for post processing 200 Hz data saved on the Applanix PCMCIA card.
When running POSPAC and POSGPS on a Windows XP Vmware virutal machine, the hardware key on the parallel port was not accessible.
There is a bug in version 2.0.2 Vmware server where the parallel port does not work correctly if connected at boot time.
Follow direction given at http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_devices_parallel_configure_linux.html to make sure the parallel port is configured correctly on the Fedora 12 host.
Only connect the parallel port after the virtual machine is booted using the Web interface to the virtual machine.
