Enabling devices to work with virtual machines
Each virtual machine provides a platform that includes the devices that your
guest operating system can see. You can use the "Devices" menu in Workstation
to connect removable virtual devices to the host's physical
devices, disconnect virtual devices from the host's physical devices, or edit
the configuration of a disconnected removable virtual device. Not all devices
are removable.
