You're Welcome Angus
Glad to see you got it up and running,yep sometimes it just needs to start from sq.1
one to find it and set it right.
win2k likes to hold the IRQ's back sometimes and that's what it takes to get hardware
up and running.
But if you pull a device out win2k will rework the IRQ's and give all the devices
a shot at them.(it likes to share IRQ 9 alot (on my pc's) and I'm not sure why)
Have a good weekend mate

Please revisit your post so that others on this forum will know if the solutions
were helpful or not helpful .
