16 Yes, that fix _works_around_ the hw bug of the SB600 as Duncan explained
17 in another email in this thread. But I still have issues with a 8Gb
18 Kingston USB key, on this mobo it does not work neither in Gentoo (stops
19 during read or write transfer with various errors) nor in WindowsXP, so
20 I have little chance to get it working. The key works fine on all other
21 PCs I have tested.

23 I'd not buy again this board, I don't know if I'll buy again Asus.
