I have been into the BIOS but don't recall any relevant setting. I believe
the BIOS is probably B-USB as in before USB and so wouldn't expect to see
any USB support in any setup screen.
This may sound silly but given it's a PCI card with the normal PCI
interrupts and addresses etc, why does BIOS need to get involved?
Many thanks for the link. I have downloaded the EverestHome and will be
installing this next time I make a visit.
I was wondering if the motherboard was a clone of some sort! Just seemed
strange to have no markings.
