This system has 2 front and 4 rear mounted USB ports - but I have never been able to get all 6 of them to work at the same time, no matter how many lines I have in Config.sys. Given that my system is not Intel, I am surprised to see the UHCI USB 1.1 drivers loaded (I would have expected the OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface) drivers) - but I think what it is, is that when you have a USB 2.0 chipset and EHCI driver, it emulates multiple Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) ports to give backwards compatibility - hence the OHCI driver is only relevant if you have a system with only USB 1.1 (non-Intel) interfaces and no USB 2.0.
