KT7A Raid and ALI M5273 USB

Trying to get usb 2.0 installed successfully. I tried once and the
system came to a standstill... Took card out, every thing works well again.




Trying to get the above config. to work.

Basic info

pci 1 modem (motorolla)
Pci 2 empty (had the usb card here, but system very slow.
pci 3 sound card (cheap)
pci 4 empty
pci 5 network card
pci 6 empty
agp video card

amd 1.2
ram 512 mb
win xp sp. 1


Thanks!

Tyler, I've had a similar setup attempt, with similar results to yours.

When I put the ALI card (a comp USA $20 special) into PCI 2 after installing
the ali software, it worked perfectly...as long as I had nothing connected
to it. It was found, came up as a separate USB controller (not mixed in
among the usb controllers). When USB 1.1 stuff was plugged in, it worked
perfectly. When I plugged in USB 2 things, they weren't recognized. When I
disabled the USB 2 controller, they came to life, as USB 1.1 things, of
course

I then swapped the modem and the ALI card. It works the same way, i.e. not
at all with USB2 things, perfectly with usb 1.1 things plugged in. What is
very different is that in device manager, the microsoft enhanced USB
controller is shown.

My conclusion is that there's either some incompatibility between the ALI
and the VIA chipset running the PCI, or that there's an ALI (or a VIA)
driver out there that hasn't been written yet that is needed, or that there
are gremlins in this world that I just don't comprehend. I know that the
last of those is true. I suspect that my KT7A Raid isn't going to provide
me with the ability to implement USB 2.0.
