Thanks, Colin. I'll look into this.

This box has 2 slots in front and two in back. I use
the ones in front regularly, but can't recall the last
time I used either of the ones in back, if ever. So .
. . should I list just two ? The floppy is IDE, not
USB. What happens if you attach a hub, off one of the
USB ports ?

Incidentally, since we're on the USB subject, I recall
Jerry saying (quite a while ago), that he had not
managed to get anything in the way of a USB hard drive
seen / useable beyond about 20G. in size. (I could be
off on that, but it _was_ a rather small #, relative
to the size of hard drives of the last few years.) I
figured that if it wasn't working for Jerry, you could
take that to the bank. Because of that, I never even
bothered to check this myself, but I will now do so,
with these different boot partitions. (The only hard
drives I have set up for USB right now are 160G.) But
I'll ask here anyway: does this square with other
peoples' experience ?
