    The problem with this USB add-in card is it does not have an internal pin header like this one does; but, the problem with this one is that the pin header is so close to the add-in card below that it makes connecting something to it sometimes impossible because of the add-in card below it.

    Does anyone know of a USB add-in card that turns the pin header to the side?

    In the absence of that, does anyone know of an adapter that will adapt USB A on this card to a pin header.

    Just do some hunting, you'll find one pretty easily. You could also move that second card (with pinouts) to your bottom PCI slot and you'll have sufficient clearance. Move whatever is currently populating your bottom PCI slot to another PCI slot but if you have an AGP video card, leave PCI #1 open as it shares interrupts with the AVG controller on most boards.

    ;)

    It's all in the search terms. Different terms and term combinations, different results.

    Thanks.
