In defense of the mfg with the type A connector only, I am seeing a number of motherboards that have a type A connector on the motherboard (internal, not just in the I/O shield area) evidently for just such an application. But you are not likely to see that on a 5 yr old mobo. Just my $.02 <br>

an internal unit. Was that made by someone owned by Micro$haft?<br>
