USB 2.0 Q's

Kleiner · 29-November-02, 04:12 AM

My mobo is USB 2.0 Capable. I have 4 connectors on my mobo for it however I have no idea in hell on how to run it to the outside of my case where I will be hooking up my Printer and Scanner, I am sure I will be finally getting, soon.
I also have firewire plugs on the outside of my case in the front but I didn't have a firewire capable mobo.... So.... when I got my audigy board I was hoping I could wire the Firewire ports on the front of my case to the connector on my Audigy board. However, it doesn't come with any instructions on how to do it correctly.... If you know how to do that let me know as well.

What brand/model of motherboard?

My Asus board came with a PCI card-thingy that'd plug into the motherboard. I know Soyo makes an internal USB 2.0 Hub too (pix @ newegg). If your mobo manufacturer doesn't make one, maybe one of the others would work, depending on the pin config. There are some generic front USB drive-bay hubs at newegg, too (and some have firewire).

Its a soyo Dragon Ultra Platinum Edition (KT333) It came with a front adapter, but I would like to be able to hook it up in the back. Not so much the front.... I currently have 2 USB 1.1 ports and that is it. I could really use those 4 USB 2.0 plugs in the back...

so go out and buy a usb accessory port for your case and put it on the back of your case . almost any one should work .

If I am correct I would be saying that is a completely different card than a USB 2.0 PCI card because that is what would adapt my computer for USB2.0 right? Hell, I can build my own computer, but I am retarded.

I have the same board dude.......you do not need to buy a card with USB 2.0....you just need to buy a USB 2.0 Panel with wires that connect to the mobo. It will still take up an expansion slot. The motherboard book explains where to hook it up....It shows how to hook up the E-Box which is USB 2.0 and you should have a mobo USB 2.0 connecter left after the E-box is installed.

I'm not so sure that you can move the firewire from the audigy without some soldering.....or maybe a special Live Drive.

Strange it didn't come with an expansion slot panel from Soyo. I got an MSI KT4 board awhile ago and it came with one in the box.
