If you really want USB to work in APIC mode on the Tiger 133 board,
spend $25 on a USB pci card.  That should work just fine :)

All I know is this:
	http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q233/1/63.ASP
as I've not run Win2000 on this machine, thankfully....

Also the message board at:
	http://www.usbman.com
is full of comments about the VIA chipsets and the difficulties of
getting them to work properly under Windows.
