# Data Object - ConverterAgentInternalDeviceDroppedDeviceMappingAlert

Since
  Converter API 1.0

## Data Object Description

The subtype of ConverterAgentInternalDeviceMappingAlert that is returned if a device had to be dropped entirely from the VirtualMachineConfigSpec because there was simply no equivalent available. For example:

- ESX 3.0 doesn't support sound.
- ESX 3.0 doesn't have parallel ports
- ESX 3.0 doesn't have serial ports
- ESX 3.0 doesn't support USB

Further subtypes of can easily be added if it is necessary for internationalization purposes. They are not here right now because it is not clear to me whether we can use the value of the #device member as a substitutable parameter, in order to get messages like:

> "Your destination (ESX 3.0) does not support sound cards"

or whether we will need a separate subtype, `SoundCardDeviceDroppedDeviceMappingAlert`, in order to produce such a message. We'll add the subtypes, if it turns out that we need them.
