Art,

The mainboard (Gigabyte GA-7VAXP) was new last January and has a KT400
(PAC) and VT8235 (PSIPC) chipsets.  Unfortunately, they are VIA
chipsets.  I almost did not buy this mainboard because it had VIA
chipsets but, in talking to AMD, an engineer there said that this was a
good mainboard and should be trouble free.

I flashed the BIOS last night and I may update the VIA drivers today.  I
plan to check things out a little more today but I have not encountered
an "Unplug this Device" alert since I flashed the BIOS.  Other than this
problem, I have had not problems with this mainboard and with Windows
2000, it's solid as a rock.
