USB ports

[Pata]

I just noticed that I could purchase a 2 port USB PCI card for $30.00CDN, and so I was wondereing if I could install it in my Pentium 200MMx computer. It has a Spacewalker TX HOT569MB Motherboard and I am Running Windows Me. I want to install a optical mouse on the computer.

Sure, why not?

I installed one of these things fro a friend so they could get a usb scanner, worked fine.

there is no need to get a USB card. All you need is a USB riser that any computer store should carry. Just make sure that they have the right pin config(most will work on any mobo but if its not right....you can cause damage. Just look at the manual and it will tell you the pin config there. Here is the part right from Spacewalker. http://www.shuttleonline.com/usb_cable.htm

You should be able to pick one up at your local computer store for about $10 -$15 US.

Please do not pee in the gene pool!

Good call, Snert. Thats the best solution.

I really doubt he's going to have a port for that on his MB.

I checked the manual. It's got one. Snert probably did also.
