Made a breakthrough with VMWare Fusion and Mac OS X Server 10.6 Snow Leopard. I realised I needed to disable LDAP directory functions, and the virtualised machine could see the network, and be seen BY the network.
That let me disable VMWare’s filesharing, and just use the built-in filesharing to access the network from within the VM.
I managed to get Adobe CS5 installed and running, and the process of rebuilding my workflows is underway. The plan from there is to fix the problems with Surfing The Deathline, publish new updates of the books, then publish a CBZ version, then update the store.
My new audio library scenario is coming along- I’m slowly adding music to Doppler, and that will sync it to my phones.
