Yeah, I originally had one of those - until it died.

Thanks, that was very helpful!
And yeah, USB did work originally. No biggie if it doesn't though, I have a card for it anyway.
Out of frustration, I've built a P3 rig in the meantime. I mean, I love the old Athlon, but a BX board is a BX board. Rock solid.
