Hi Pete,
I do know about the Asus Prime range of AM4 Ryzen boards, thanks. In fact I have a couple of them up and running almost, just need the USB 3.0 and 3.1 drivers. There are other boards (manufacturers) that have gone over to USB 3.0 only that I could be interested in (built gaming systems for friends using them), I can even get ArcaOS to boot if I use a disk with it already installed on but can't do anything - no keyboard or mouse. I know I can use a VIA based USB 2.0 add in card but at €73 a pop, no thanks.

Hi ivan
Yes, a lot of mainboards I have looked at recently have been USB3 only and most of them did not have any PS/2 sockets.
Good to hear from Alex that the USB3 driver is making progress, I guess we may hear more from Warpstock about that.
If it is any help USB2 addin controllers seem to be available reasonably cheap in the UK see https://www.pcworldbusiness.co.uk/buy-rent/P129642P?cidp=Froogle&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhqaxhMWm3QIVrr_tCh0ooQAFEAQYAyABEgLUMfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=COag_o7Fpt0CFQu0UQodv2cEGQ
You can probably find some on ebay and amazon as well.
Regards
Pete

Hi Pete,
The price I gave was from Amazon for a StarTech 7 port PCIe card The one you pointed to is a PCI card and non of the AM$ Ryzen boards have PCI slots only PCIe.
I have a couple of USB 2.0 PCI cards from old computers and so far haven't found a way of getting a PCI to PCIe adapter with a PCI card into a low profile case.
Pete:
Hi ivan
Oops, Sorry.
I'm sure I have seen cheaper PCIe USB2 controllers somewhere though ...
Aha! It was a 4 port version of the Startech card but not much cheaper https://www.startech.com/uk/Cards-Adapters/USB-2/Card/4-Port-PCI-Express-Low-Profile-High-Speed-USB-Card~PEXUSB4DP - possibly cheaper on ebay or amazon.
Regards
Pete
