[...] I also suggest to be _very_ suspicious with Winbond integrated chips (they are often met on VLB MIO cards and on not-so-recent 486 motherboards). I don't have one handy for exact chip model reference, sorry; but AFAIK ASUS SP3G motherboard is, for example, equipped with one. Just 2-3 days ago one of that Winbond chips hit me once again on a friend's machine. Mouse works fine, tests are Ok, but just anything requiring bidirectional full-duplex transfers (UUCP, SLIP, even Fidonet mailer) just doesn't work. -- Best, Andrew Stesin nic-hdl: ST73-RIPE
