Do you have to do this switching if you shift between FC1 and RH8? Have
you tried shifting the connectors at the back of the switch around so
that instead of "A" being XP, "B" FC1 and "C" RH8, "A" is FC1, "B" is
RH8 and "C" is XP (electrical differences have been known to cause what
you describe!)

TTFN

P.S. You email client seems to be broken - it doesn't understand word
wrap at 80 chars etc... I don't know of any Linux one where such a
fundamental problem can be observed.
