Tharin O.,
You've saved my bacon again. I'd lost the link to FrontX. The other link
is very interesting also.

Generally you are going to be wiring front panel usb connectors and
internal usb devices directly to header pins on your motherboard.
Oh, that wish this was true! The Abit BX6 r2.0 that I own does not have
any USB header pins on the m/b. I will scan the board anyway just to see if
they are part of the map. All I have at the moment is a pair of TypeA
connectors on the rear I/O panel.
The Koutech IO-PU222 is is the only card I've found that has two internal
header pins like the type normally found on a motherboard. It is a 4-port
USB 2.0 PCI card with 2 external and 2 internal header pin connectors. It
goes for about $10-15.
I will go search for this item!!!!! Thanks!!! :) I may just give up using
the default TypeA USB ports the current case has. Would be nice, but I can
do an alternate too.
There are also cables that can adapt internal headers to the external
style. Some are made for staying inside of the case and others might have
a through hole in an internal bracket for looping the wire out the rear of
the case and back into a rear usb port.
Yes, found them at FrontX. Still working on an order.......

I do know about v 1.1.
I do know about v2.0.
I will pick v2.0. But, am hdw limited, I suspect.
Have searched for internal USB cards that might work.
What I really need is a PCI card that has 4x the 4 copper pins
on-board so I can plug in my case's 4x usb ports.
Does a card like this even exist???? (anymore?)
If I am screwed, so be it. Wondering I am. Just because I can.
Screwed does not bother me ATM.
Thank you.
