Hi and thanks for the reply, Yes, I have tried going into the UKC and fiddling with all of those options to no avail and the BIOS is completely user unfriendly. You can't change anything much at all - certainly no "Plug'n'Pray" option to turn off. It's one of the most anally retentive BIOSes I've ever seen in my 17yrs of computing.
Can I do anything other than the above. NetBSD supports this USB. Is there any way to get information that way? product ATI SB200_OHCI_1 0x4347 SB200 USB Host Controller product ATI SB200_OHCI_2 0x4348 SB200 USB Host Controller (http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/pci/pcidevs?rev=1.730&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup) Cheers, SteveL
