AHA, thank you Dave, I didn't know that. Guess that shows how long it's
been since I bought a motherboard. My two boards here in my home machines
(an ASUS P2B-F and an FIC VA-503+) probably both fit in that timeframe you
speak of, which is why I can't do USB except inside Windows. Yes, I'm due
for an upgrade <g>.
Thanks for the information. Sorry if I misled Dick N. at all with my reply.
