Aha, the axe method.... :)

Nope, it is a rack server with little use for USB. A rather nice one 
with video and USB at the front. But currently we're using the ps/2 kbd 
interface at the back, where there's also a video interface.

Out of curiosity:
	Are the ISR's really shared, or is it more an "optical" problem?
	em0 is at irq 30
	uhc is at irq 16
The server will be here for at most 1 more week, and is available for 
tests....
