Hi everybody,
I've got a bootproblem since i fixed a USB-Bracket on the 10-pin-Block from
my Board. The bootprocess breaks at (or immediatly befor?) the
HDD-identification and start again (and again ...). I use a Microsoft
Keyboard and Mouse (both USB) and Win98SE. Can anybody help me, please?

See if it boots sans USB. If yes, then USB may be connected to your
problem. If no, well, you will not be chasing a problem thought in
error to be USB-related.

Try that and tell us what happens.

Also, when you say you "fixed a USB-bracket" . . . . what exactly
does that mean?? In detail, what does that mean? Use other words to
describe precisely what you did and why.

Make sure you're using a new-enough BIOS, too.
According to http://www.jump.net/~lcs/kalle/rev3.htm#USB , version 207 is needed.

Also, any chance Asus uses a weird pinout for USB, like the serial port using
the crossover type cabling, rather that straight-through?

For what it's worth, I've seen this problem too. I have USB keyboard
that I plug into a T2P4 machine with an Asus USB bracket every now and
then. The keyboard detects and works fine, but if I leave it plugged in
the system will keep rebooting itself at exactly the stage described
above. I never found a workaround, but I don't need a keyboard plugged
into the machine all the time so it didn't really bother me.

Nope. It's straight forward, but not in the manual. I think I got the
pin-outs from this group a long time ago. I bought a generic Belkin
adapter at Office Depot for my T2P4. You do have to check the wiring. I
never had any problems, but then, I'm not running an USB keboard, only
webcam and sound modules. It could be a corrupted driver problem.
