I always have at least three laptops, one that I’m using, one I’m working on setting up, and the old one I can’t let go of.

You sound like you need some VMs. Particularly for whatever is on that old laptop.

    Have been working on moving what I can to a VM, but the systems I develop require physical access, and when I've asked, I've been told there is no way to give a VM access to the laptops ports.

    Many of the systems / devices are on physically isolated networks, use RS-232 or USB for access, etc.

    If there are netsec approved ways of passing physical ports to the VM that would solve a ton of my issues.
