Thanks for the idea but I have to stick with 4.X series for other reasons. I
had never experienced problems on my 4.7 install on a Compaq Armarda 1500c.
In fact I had 2 of these devices attached via a Aten UH-102 hub and everything
chugged along great. I took out the hub when I started getting problems.
Maybe I should install 4.7 on my new laptop and test.
