Fine.  I suspect something in the Shuttle board/Bios Combo, then. 

As I said, I couldn't get 2 different Shuttle Boards, and a couple
of instances of each, to make it work. 

I just didn't have the time to devote to finding a solution
that WORKED. 

I *DID* post, and HOPED for a response like this one over the last
month or so.  Today is the first dialog I've had off the list
with answers.
