Rob and Tim, thank you both for your replies. One follow-up question...
assume some strange external device has a serial port connector. That serial
port has an adapter connected to it which converts it to USB. That device is
then a USB compatible device (client-mode of course) correct? Meaning, if
you had a computer with USB host capability and a USB hub, you could connect
several of those external devices to your computer via USB, and your
computer would be able to read both of them correct?

Thanks again!

I first bought an external SATA drive case...with an external SATA connector that connected to the regular SATA connector on the mobo at one end and fit into an empty PCI slot.I then installed a SATA HD in the Case and connected it to the external connector.The mobo actually read it as just another SATA drive and by disconnecting internal HD I installed Vista on this external drive.By choosing which HD to boot from I could chose this external drive or the internal XP drive.My BIOS gave me the option to push F?when booting and that would bring up a screen where it showed all HD that were connected ..I would then chose which HD to boot from. ...
