Default Epoc EX-5 Mini Me ... Really This Bad?

Last year I built my son a PC based on the the EPOX EX-5 Mini ME SFF
board and case. This machine has been nothing but trouble .. and their
are no BIOS updates from the manufacturer to fix some of the problems.
For example, if you use a USB keyboard with the machine, you cannot
enter the BIOS to change settings .. The USB keyboard is not
recognized until Windows boots.

So is there any web site that might have some useful tweaks for this
machine .. or should I cut my losses and junk it ..

Yeah, I haven't seen an epox board that wouldn't support USB keyboard/mice.
However, support for USB human interface devices isn't enabled by default.
If there is no USB support, I would be surprised and disappointed. -Dave
