Hi Kev,

Yeah I had no idea about that.  So... no I'm not using BM since I didn't 
want to re partition things too much and other boot managers sit in the 
MBR without taking up too much space.

Now you might know this.  What are the rules for updating RSJ?

Cheers
G

All I ever did was install the new one over the old one.  The install 
script finds the old setup and does its thing from there.

Cheers

Subject:  Re:  PCI HOST CARD

Hi All.

First of all, thank you for your posts. They have been most helpful, but
I'm still in a bit of a bind. <more>.

A friend of mine has donated one of these USB 2.0 to PCI Host Cards. Being
a Windows person, he didn't want to use it, as he had lost the
instructions to install. <G>.

Ironically, it is the Windows part that runs. It also can be seen on
Kubuntu Linux (but didn't want to open).

Here is what I sent to eComStation, as I'm using eCs2.0b2.

----------------------------------------------------------
A High Speed USB 2.0 PCI Host Card will not run under eCs2.0b2. Same card
runs under  Windows and Kubuntu Linux. Original USB with this Celeron 
P700 motherboard will run under 1.0, but the USB Pen Drive, when changed
from there to  the USB 2.0 will not run. USB Device Manager in Utilities
programme does not detect the Pen Drive. Are latest USB Drivers being used
on eCs2.0b2? ----------------------------------------------------------

That would be my first question. Maybe a more elderly version of the USB
drivers run on eCs2.0b2 (for stability reasons, whilst other sections of
the OS is being tested?). What is a quick way I could test for that? I
have also suddenly realised that the snippet of CONFIG.SYS I sent was from
my system (that I'm writing from now) which is running eCs1.2MR
(downloaded version) and sorted under Doug Bissett's system, and not
eCs2.0b2 which uses a different sort method, and the USB Drivers are
spread out.

Which brings another question: I have heard that there should be separate
entrys for each USB ports in CONFIG.SYS. Two things makes me wonder:
Firstly, the 2xUSB 1.0 ports that come up with the motherboard work
alright....it's the 4x new ones on the PCI Card that do not. Secondly:
Which entry(ies) do I have to repeat, and Thirdly: I thought sending
/REMOVABLES:2 to REMOVABLES:6 would solve that. Maybe not, but then maybe
I have the wrong USB Version in.

Or maybe, just maybe, I'm missing something really simple. Apologies for
bothering you all again, but any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards

NICK
