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.
