Silly me.  I thought I could just keep adding hardware descriptions 
until I got something that fit.  The Hagiwara web site _does_ say that 
their embedded products are made to mimic CDs or to use the same memory 
addresses as CD drives (my ability to read / understand Japanese 
electrical engineering terms has never been good), which probably 
explains why Linux saw a mass storage device.

VMware is 'way down my list of things that I have to learn, but it's on 
the list.

In the meantime, my regular desktop / Skype dual system phone (Pioneer) 
is recognized.  It's just a pain to shift the USB plug between boxes.

Does not appear to be the case.  It likes W2K and WIN XP.  It's a great 
accessory for travel (e.g. there's a spot n my laptop bag that's exactly 
the right size for it).  Laptop plugs into the hotel LAN and the handset 
plugs into the laptop and we're off ...
