Well… The following is everything I can dig up on the NEC PCI USB card. The
same occurs for the onboard SiS USB. I’m no code writer so I can’t tell if
everything matches in detail. If anyone sees anything goofy, please let me
know. Meanwhile I’ll do a repair reinstall on XP so I might be “offline” for
a day or two while it collects all the updates.
