Hi All,
A friend of mine seems to be having a problem related
to USB. Owning no USB devices, my experiences are
very limited. I'm quoting from his e mails and would
appreciate any help towards resolving his problem.
Thanks, Art Cassel

IBM drive: speed difference noticed going from udma

Haven't seen any benchmark programs to test USB to see
if mobo died.
USB was probably defective when I bought this board
last year, just
didn't have anything to plug into it till last month.
Maybe it's time to go back to ASUS, or something
without onboard udma66,
66 card only uses 1 slot
my board 3 shares Irq with 66 controller
5 and 66 controller share bus master signal
5 shares irq signals with 2
so scsi card is on 4, SB live is on 1 sharing with
AGP, Ethernet card
supposed to work on 2 (not installed yet)
other then that system runs stable & fairly fast
