First, thanks to John, Stephan - and others of you here who’ve helped me get all this running - finally, all good!

But here’s something funny! I’ve installed one of our ancient NVIDIA video cards and, in an effort to identify it, check out this output. My video card is a PCI switch! Ha!:

$ scanpci -v
