Maybe. I looked at the PCI output and noticed the drivers for the
on-board NIC, IRQ 10 - that I am not using - and the card, IRQ 11 - that
I am using - were both loading. That gave IRQ 10 4 devices and IRQ 11 3
devices. USB is using 10 and 11. I disabled the on-board NIC, the IRQ
use it now 3 and 3, and I now have USB and NET.

In one way this USB is better that W2K. In W2K when I plug in this four
bay card reader it creates four drive letters, even if no cards are
plugged in. When I do plug in a card I then have to try the drives till
I find the one in use. eCS waited until I plugged in a card and created
one drive. If I pulled the card the only change is the eject button
disappears. The drive stays. When I unplug the bay the drive is
deleted. I did not have to "eject".
