[OPLINTECH] Gates machines - USB connector sources ?

[JKENZIG]

We just buy inexpensive Male to Female USB extension cables and run them from the back of our units.  You can also buy an Iomega external CD writer 7 in 1 drives that have a usb plug in the front for under $60 that will give you card reader functionality also. Your patrons will love them.

Hello Oplintech...
 
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 ½" drive bay, but would prefer to use the OEM style cable if anyone has identified a viable substitute.
 
Thanks.  I realize that success in this is improbable.
