Andrew,

I just noted that you are using a Kouwell I/O Flex 5-Port PCI USB 2.0 Host
Controller.

I recall that another manufacturer (Belkin?), on its 4- or 5-port USB PCI
cards, said in its specs that it required at least a B&W G3. I asked the
list a year or two ago about this, and received confirmations from others
that indeed, that card wouldn't work in a Power Computing machine.

Can you get your hands on a 2-port card (I've picked them up for about $10)
and see if it works?
