    initial v1  
    11As to load order: there is a loading stage where all device drivers are invoked on their INIT entry point. Then there is a second loading stage where all device drivers are invoked on their INIT_COMPLETE entry point.

    3 All device drivers loaded via DEVICE= are called on their INIT entry point in exactly the order as they are listed in config.sys. Then, all device drivers are called on their INIT_COMPLETE entry point in exactly the reverse order as they are listed in config.sys.
     3All device drivers (loaded via DEVICE=) are called on their INIT entry point in exactly the order as they are listed in config.sys. Then, all device drivers (loaded via DEVICE=) are called on their INIT_COMPLETE entry point in exactly the reverse order as they are listed in config.sys.

     5There are additional ordering rules regarding drivers loaded via BASEDEV= in contrast to those loaded via DEVICE= (drivers loaded via BASEDEV= are loaded before drivers loaded via DEVICE=) and then there is yet another load order regarding all drivers loaded via BASEDEV= (it depends on the file extension in this order from first to last: .SYS, .ADD, .DMD, .FLT). But in general, the BASEDEV= drivers follow the very same rule for invocation of INIT and INIT_COMPLETE entry point as the DEVICE= drivers.

    57As to your screenshot: am I assuming correctly that you can only operate a USB keyboard via your KVM switch but not a USB mouse ? Am I also assuming correctly that you had the USB keyboard and USB mouse directly attached to the system and NOT via the KVM switch ?
