+Allow setting usb storage device ID parameters
+
+Some stubborn software requires certain VID/PID/Serial to authenticate and refuses to start in emulation. This poses a problem with unsupported programs which often require keeping an ancient hardware praying that the USB stick will not die before the (often defunct) company making it.
+
+Virtualizing such environment is desired. However, QEMU doesn't allow setting VID/PID/Serial/Name of emulated USB devices, but instead uses hardcoded values: https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/c99fa56b95a72f6debd50a280561895d078ae020/hw/usb/dev-storage.c#L95
+
+This request (including a patch) was already made in 2015 on the list but never got any response: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-discuss/2015-07/msg00072.html
+
+
+WDYT of adding such functionality?
+
+The QEMU project is currently moving its bug tracking to another system.
+For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be
+closed already. Thus we are setting the bug state to "Incomplete" now.
+
+If the bug has already been fixed in the latest upstream version of QEMU,
+then please close this ticket as "Fix released".
+
+If it is not fixed yet and you think that this bug report here is still
+valid, then you have two options:
+
+1) If you already have an account on gitlab.com, please open a new ticket
+for this problem in our new tracker here:
+
+    https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues
+
+and then close this ticket here on Launchpad (or let it expire auto-
+matically after 60 days). Please mention the URL of this bug ticket on
+Launchpad in the new ticket on GitLab.
+
+2) If you don't have an account on gitlab.com and don't intend to get
+one, but still would like to keep this ticket opened, then please switch
+the state back to "New" or "Confirmed" within the next 60 days (other-
+wise it will get closed as "Expired"). We will then eventually migrate
+the ticket automatically to the new system (but you won't be the reporter
+of the bug in the new system and thus you won't get notified on changes
+anymore).
+
+Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
+
+
+[Expired for QEMU because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
