OK, good point. I didn't try any other OS, I just tried FreeBSD 6 and 7
off a USB CDROM drive, virtual media CDROM, and virtual media floppy,
both of which use USB emulation. I assumed that if I tried, say, a
Windows CD, it would just work because that's usually Supermicro's
target market.

Its a rather new X7DWT motherboard (Intel 5400 chipset, Xeon CPU)
Good luck with getting your USB drives back :-)
