I want to replace the USB.v.1 card in a Compaq Presario
7000CA with a USB.v.2 card. The problem is their connectors.
The old USB card has
1. A standard 4-wire power supply, as used for CD drives.
2. Nine-pin plug (of a type I have not seen before)
connecting to the two front-panel USB jacks.
The new USB card has
1. No extra power supply; presumably it gets power
from its PCI plug-in slot.
2. One USB jack, presumably to connect jacks
(like the custom 9-pin connector on the old card.)
Is this 9-pin connector peculiar to Compaq or just a
discarded standard? I am doubtful what to do next.
