NCCH-DL - internal USB conncetion possible?

I'm thinking that since there is no internal USB connector on the NCCH-DL
( like on the P4PE etc ) that the answer is 'NO' but I thought I would ask
anyway.

I bought a Mitsumi floppy drive that is also a multi format memory card
reader but it needs a USB connect. I'm thinking I'll just sell it and get an
external card reader since I don't want to find an adapter cable and run it
outside to the external connectors.

Is there a Firewire to USB adapter that would work with the internal
Firewire connection to provide USB connectivity? Like a motherboard firewire
jumper to USB hub sort of thing?

Thanks for any advice.

Hance Rapids 6300ESB has four USB interfaces. They are all connected
to the back of your computer.

A cheap USB card might be a solution. This one, for example,
has an "internal" connector that might mate with your Mitsumi.

Try shopping for a USB card with an odd number of ports, as
then there is a chance one of the ports will be an internal.
