Strange as it may seem, the difference between '8' and '6' just might
make the difference.  And, you do have FOUR of the USBUHCD.SYS
statements... Right?

My Dani driver is:
    DANIS506.ADD           73740   8-24-07   4:42p

I think /V will only _show_ you what the driver(s) saw at boot time.

BTW, be sure you do NOT have the USB drive inserted at boot time. Wait
and insert it after the system has completed the startup.  When you
insert the USB, then the "Refresh Removable Media" task should pop up
and tell you that "Drive-? is now available."  [Where ? is the drive
letter assigned.]

In:  d:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI
you should find an entry:

[W8086X109A_nif]

   DriverName = WRND32$
   VENDOR = 0x8086
   DEVICE = 0x109A
   NDIS_SYS = "E1E5132.SYS"
   NDIS_INF = "E1E5132.INF"
   DEBUGLEVEL = "NO"
   OPTIONS = "NATIVE"

I think it should look exactly like this.  If not, possibly you need to
configure with MPTS.  Even though you did it before, after installing
the latest GenMac, you may need to repeat it to get it changed from the
GenMac 2.00 to the 'experimental' level shown above.
