I have an old IBM Aptiva E Series 95U that I would like to add USB ports to; it doesn’t have any built in and I have a “card” from another computer that plugs into the Mobo. I just don’t see any plugs on theis Mobo for doing it. I didn’t get the book or any CDs with this machine and I’ve already swapped out the memory to upgrade to over 600Mb (the 100 Watt PS was much too low to take two HDDs and a CD-ROM so I upped that to 300 – and it sits on the floor, outside the box!) I am running this machine on WIn98 SE with two 40Gb HDDs in it and it seems to run just fine – and much faster than the wife’s 800MHz Comapq (this is supposed to be a 533MHz machine).
TIA for any and all input in this. I have looked around the Net and I can’t find the manual for this Mobo – and it doesn’t have an awful lot of pins where the USB plug could go…

If the board doesn’t have pci slot then u have big problem(i don’t think isa usb card exist).
