Thanks for responding.
I have six USB ports. Two came pre-wired on my motherboard and I also
hooked up another set of two myself (six total). When I look at Device
Manager, it shows three separate entries for "USB Root Hub", although they
all show "Location 0". There are also two entries for "Standard OpenHCd USB
Host Controller" as well as Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller".
Do all the USB ports share resources equally? Or is it like the different
IDE channels? Is it possible that if you plugged the modem into one pair
and the USB game device into another set that they wouldn't contend for the
same resources?
Thanks,
Dave Ewing
