   There is lots that I can do  :-)

   I just tried it on a fifth machine. No problems with the order of    
   statements in CONFIG.SYS. All of these systems are quite different.    
   Some are using ACPI (3.18, or 3.19), and a couple of them are using    
   the old APM support. Of course, some of them do have problems caused    
   by ACPI, but they do work, once I found the right combination of    
   parameters. I doubt if your USB drivers will fix problems in ACPI.   
      
   I have one more old ThinkPad 390x to try it on, but it has only a UHCI   
   adapter (or perhaps an OHCI adapter). There is no EHCI adapter. Works    
   fine...

   All that I can say, is that it has given me no trouble, yet.   
      
   Thanks for all of your work.
