I am finally recovering from a lightening strike that took out all my
computers. So now I have a new PC to connect to the layout and
programming track. I recall USB drivers have been an issue in the
past, so before I start I thought I'd ask for current thinking.

I need to set up a Loco Buffer II-USB, a USB SPROG II and a QSI
Quantum Programmer. All of these (of course) came with their own USB
install software. Is there any reason I should NOT simply install
each device according to the instructions? Or are there known
conflicts/gotchas?

The machine is running Windows XP, SP3. I am cross-posting this to
the QSI Group.
