I'm sorry, but you've got to talk to me like you are talking to a small helpless child. Otherwise I am not going to understand. Like I said I am in over my head. What exactly is an i/o card? How would I know if it is a proprietary integrated solution? On which card would I be rearranging the jumpers …
