You should have come to the meeting. :-)

The NIC is understandable. The USB controllers should have been
recognized.

Restore from where?

Any idea what changed?

FWIW, the new eCS 2.0 beta might fix up some of this. The SNAP drivers
are now at

SciTech SNAP Graphics for eCS
Version 3.1.5, build 500
eComstation Special Edition

If you recall, during my presentation, I mention some things that need to
be done to build an AMD compatible bootable CD.

This could be your video issue.

If you want to troubleshoot the trap 8's, you are going to have to post
the trap screen etc. etc.

Same here. :-)
