I figured as much, I just wondered about the ability to disable them. Suggested by Jerry, no drivers no IRQ, were you able to disable the built-ins in the BIOS or how? I've posed these questions to the vendor I am speaking with, and it's not that I don't trust the guy, but it's nice to hear these things from impartial 3rd parties. -- Linux SxS [http://hal.humberc.on.ca/~mrcn0031/sxs/] _______________________________________________ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc ->http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
