You might wish to consider a front USB adapter. They plug into a drive =
bay and have cables that plug into the USB headers on the motherboard. =
Tigerdirect has one at =
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpN=

You can also find similar devices at www.newegg.com. Tigerdirect's =
model has a nifty feature....the device installs into a 5.25" drive bay, =
but includes rails so that a 3.5" device can still be installed into the =
space.

Subject: [OPLINTECH] Gates machines - USB connector sources ?
Hello Oplintech.
=20
We are migrating Gates machines to XP from NT. The original E-4600 =
Gates version of Gateway chassis was supplied without front panel USB =
connectors although the motherboard has a header available. Gateway =
says they no longer have replacement connector modules for this series. =
Has anyone on the list with Gates machines been faced with this ? We =
can put in a usb hub and/or card reader into a 5 =BD" drive bay, but =
would prefer to use the OEM style cable if anyone has identified a =
viable substitute.
=20
Thanks. I realize that success in this is improbable.
