I got this 8 in 1 plus floppy drive a few months ago when I built my computer. The floppy works fine. But when I went to use the 8 in 1 reader the other day it didn't work. A friend of mine helped me hook it up so I opened the computer and noticed that he hooked it up to the AUX audio on the motherboard. I looked around and for the life of me I can't figure out where to hook it up.

This is the unit:

The connector has four parts:
One says: 5V (I think)
One says: Dat+
One says: Dat-
One says: GRND

My motherboard is the Asus A8N SLI Deluxe

A pic of the 8 in one reader:


Can anyone tell me where to hook it up?

 

your motherboard needs to have an unsued usb header on it... ifnot you need to cut the connector off and and splice(?) it into a usb cord that runs back out from the case in into a usb port on the back.

 

I have 3 free...but all the usb's have 8 inputs...not 4


my connector doesn't look like this:



you can see that it's half this size if you look at the picture in my first post. Do I just put it on one half of the usb header

 

thats fine........................as long as you dont put it in the wrong direction.

edit: each header is wired for 2 ports... yours needs only1

 

I'll try it if your sure...but if something breaks I'll hunt you down :eek3:

 

what he said

:chuckles: at audio port

 

yeah I laughed too when I opened it up and saw that.....

I was like..."oh, that's why it's not working" :chuckles:

 

btw i was looking at that item today
does it take duo?

 

 

just hooked it up....works great...thanks for your help.

I'm not sure....mail me one and I'll try it out
