Ah - thank you.  I'd searched for that without success.  I kept being 
directed back to the non-existent page.

Initial experiments with KVM are promising.  I have the advantage that 
the USB device needs some firmware loading.  Currently the host is 
looking at it, sniffing that it doesn't have any firmware, and leaving 
it alone.  I've reached the point where my KVM VM then boots, sees the 
device and loads the firmware.

Now to see whether I can get KVM running a headless VM.
