Hi, Thanks for the replies. For some reason it never occured to me that I could still use a ps/2 mouse & keyboard. - uh, duh! I did end up buying a board that does not have the USB ports, but that's just because I ended up finding a better deal when I was looking for something else. I didn't really care about the USB components, I was just confused. The machine in question in built and running 3.1 (so far, nicely :) Rich. | rich fox | rich@f2sys.net | 1513 N.
