Re: Can my mobo support an internal card reader? Pics included.

Just as long as the mobo has USB 2 headers
and the reader is USB 2, it'll work.

All you have to do is make sure you connect the wires
to the right pins from the reader to the mobo header.

Usually, internal card reader wires go from left to right.

ie: They're coloured red,white,green,black black (only one of the black
wires are used).

The black wire always goes on the 4th/5th pin like this.

o o o o o (sometimes the 5th pin isnt on the top row)
R W G B
o o o o o (the 5th pin is also never used, and left blank).
R W G B

Thats all you have to do. XP will read it as a removable disk. No drivers
needed. Unless you want icons for the slots, in which case, you'll have to
install the icons from the manufacturer's cd.
