I've got Snow Leopard Server installed in a VMware 4.1 virtual machine on Mountain Lion on a new iMac 27". This is so I can run a single PPC application.
It seems to work fine except for a couple of things.
1. There is no sound. There are no devices visible in the Sound system preference. (I have installed the VMware tools.)
2. It is a bit sluggish at times. I have given it 2GB of RAM, and activity monitor shows it using less than 1GB.
3. It seems rather limited in its sharing capabilities. It would be nice to be able to locate a folder from the Mac anywhere in the Virtual Machine, so as to be able to use a single folder on both machines. However, they all appear as part of a network disk on the desktop.
Further, they do not seem to automatically update. If I add a file to a shared folder after the VM is running, the new file never appears unless I restart the virtual machine. :-(
This is a standard Snow Leopard Server install, with all updates applied. Fusion is 4.1.3.
Be grateful for any suggestions.
