Hello All,
I have had this PC for two or three years now. It has a BIOS dated
Sept 1999.
The mother board has an on board USB port which I have only just discovered.
I also have a version 2.0 USB board plugged into a PCI socket.
The software drivers seem to load OK but I cannot get any i/o on the USB
card in the PCI socket.
In My Computer/Device Manager/ the USB port is shown as being present.
In the BIOS setup for the Chipset Features I have USB function enabled.
The next option is USB Legacy Enabled/Disabled What should this be ?
In the PNP/PCI BIOS Setup there are the following;
Plug & PLay Aware O/S I have set to Yes OffBoard PCI IDE card is set to Auto;
the options are PCI IDE Card Slot 1 to 3
The above confuses me as I thought PCI was one bus & IDE is the older normal
bus to which Hard drives etc are connected.
The next one is Offboard PCI IDE Sec.IRQ
It is disabled in my m/c I did turn it on but the m/c locked up on starting.
The next one is PCI Slot1 /Slot2 /Slot3 IRQ Priority; the default is Auto
and thats what mine is.
They seem to be the options that matter. The whole setup seems a total mess
to my way of thinking. There are so many options that it would take a lifetime
to try all possible combinations.
So I am appealing for any experts in these matters to make some suggestions.
The mother board is a Gigabyte GA-5AA and it uses an ALi Alladdin V chipset.
The BIOS is an American Megatrends.
In hope
