right on, viper!
i used this little trick to save myself a "refresh" install of win2kpro. i was having the usb problems under win2kpro on the BP6 with MPS1.4, so I had to go back to 1.1.
i flashed the new qqbeta bios (which fixes the usb dealio), set MPS to 1.4, forced a reinstall of the same ACPI Multi drivers using the trick in device manager, and voila MPS1.4 with correct USB without a reinstall of Win2k.
Woohoo, thanks!
