[Soekris] Soekris and PCI cards. Was Re: Soekris and Soundcard

Andy,

   When I first got my 4801, I tried to use a PCI riser but the system would
hang on boot.  I took it to Soekris and he said take it out!  There appears
to be hardware limitation when using PCI risers.  I think the best solution
would be a externally powered USB device if they work.  Remember the power
limits of the Soekris products.  My 4801 is in production so I can't test
the USB support.
