I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THIS NEW PCI CARD THAT I JUST BOUGHT. I GOT IT TO UPGRADE MY COMPUTER TO THE NEW 2.O USB CAPABILITY BUT I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THE INTERNAL USB PORT THAT IT COMES WITH. IS A 5 PORT CARD. 4 ON THE OUTSIDE AND ONE INSIDE. I LOOKED AT THE CONNECTION TO THE ORIGINAL TO FRONT PORTS FROM THE INSIDE AND I DON'T SEE A CONNECTION FOR THE INTERNAL FROM THE CARD. I CHECKED TO SEE IF MAYBE THE OTHER 2 ORIGNAL PORTS ON THE BACK HAD ONE AND NOPE NOT THERE EITHER. IS THIS PORT USELESS. I STILL LIKE THE CARD BUT WHAT IS THE INTERNAL PORT FOR? THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE. <BR><BR><BR>POS HP 8775C PAVILLION<BR>933 MHZ PENTIUM III<BR>60 GIG HDD<BR>MSI DRAGON WRITER CD-RW<BR>NVIDIA MX 420 VID CARD<BR>AUDIGY MP3 SOUND BLASTER CARD

You can get expansion hubs that mount in the drive bays and plug into that plug. My father has one. I thought the same thing first time I saw the card.<BR>By the way USING ALL CAPS when posting is considered shouting.
