8 hrs and finally got it down. Long damn trip, From Intel socket 775,
to AMD 2, to AMD 3+. Migrating OSystems over three hardware
platforms. Still have one OS left to reinstall. Rest I "salvaged".

Damn SSDs don't work a damn on older platforms. It took a new MB to
get all my SDDs functional. Correction, the SSDs "did" work on the
Intel 775 box, but it's now a smashed to smithereen ex- lightning hit
it box.

This new MB handles both SSDs well enough. Surprise - I got my Xonar
soundboard back too. The Weird-o One. If seated too deep, not Just
Precisely So, in the PCI slot it's a noshow on hardware detection.
I'll take it.

Real pain in the butt, but nothing runs anything forever. One way or
another something's going to get you to update eventually.
