Virtual PC Emulator that supports Firewire (IEEE1394)

Does anyone know of a Virtual PC emulator that supports the firewire port (aka IEEE 1394) ? I know Boot Camp does, but I'm looking for something that I can in the Mac OS Partition.

MacBook Pro 17" - Model 1,2 - 2.16 GHz, Mac OS X (10.5.8), 2 GB RAM

Both Parallels and Fusion support firewire.

Also note that this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to your question. If you have further related questions you should probably repost them in another forum.

I have vmware fusion with Win 7 pro installed and can access my firewire hard drives through a shared folder, however; firewire functions are limited within the virtual machine and will also not support a camcorder via firewire.
