Sorry, I might not have made it clear: Rolled a $9 dice bet and
bought a expansion slot card with two eSATA
ports that connect to SATA ports on the motherboard. My EZ Dock is
now connected via the (dock's) eSATA port. I am *not* using the
eSATA port that is hardwired to the motherboard.

Neither 197B nor 2363 is in setupapi.log.

According to ASUS, they tested the onboard eSATA port the two
replacement motherboards before shipping them to me.

Still can't find any mention of JMicron in Everest log or Device
Manager.
