Hi Gurus,

I've been doing a lot of research, and I can't seems to find USB 1.1 port for PCI slot.
I Need help on my PM-8600 motherboard. (sorry If I sound noob)

My motherboard, according to the manual, have 10 PIN.

Also, when I open up my casing, it has 10 PIN on it.
https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/amptro … 8600a#downloads <--See picture of motherboard.

I'm trying to find "2-Port USB 1.1 PCI Rear Panel Expansion Bracket to 10pin Header" in shopee or ebay,
but my results are mostly "2-Port USB 2.0 PCI Rear Panel Expansion Bracket to 9pin Header" .
(https://shopee.com.my/2-Port-USB-2.0-PCI-Rear … e7-73ca46685464)

Where can I find Dual USB 1.1 port PCI bracket Slot, for 10 PIN header?

Do I have to get a converter from USB 2.0 to USB 1.1, so that I can plug into the motherboard?
& Does USB 1.1 have 10 PIN compare with USB2.0 9 PIN?

Thank you in advance...

That bracket/connector will work fine ~ the '9pin' plug just has one hole blocked off with a plastic plug (newer mainboard USB headers only had 9 pins)...this was done to 'key' the connector so it could only be put on one way round. The 'proper' fix is to clip off the additional ground pin on the mainboard header -- this then 'keys' the header so all newer USB connectors fit.
