Yes, I think that's what I'm using.  It does see the USB, installs some 
sort of new driver on the windows side and lets me tell the guest to 
capture it, but then the status always shows as busy and the guest never 
sees it.

I think clonezilla has a ubuntu-base version.  I'll try that again.  But 
I'm still interested in a VM that has decent USB speed so I can plug 
ext3 drives into my laptop and access them while still running windows.
