Hello,
Does anyone from Australia have one of these cards that they would be willing to sell? I am located in Melbourne.
Cheers Noah
Hey dude! The site owner does not allow sales topics here. Sadly this is only communicated here: VOGONS is no marketplace! but not in the site's rules page so there's regular confusion about this.
Since those cards are specific to their motherboards and afaik there's no common standard you will have a hard time tracking down the right one anyway. However you could try to design your own if you can figure out the pinout on your motherboard. I guess the design for such a card is very simple.
I've got one of these in a PCChips M573. The board came without it and I had to buy it separately from a guy in the U.S. There's a diagram of the pinouts here:

Thanks for the replies,
The same thing happened to me I found an m573 that came with everything but the form card and I'm not sure what I can do with it without the card, any ideas?
Without the card you're stuck using a serial mouse with your computer, most of which are 20+ years old and unpleasant to use.
ETA: That's for DOS. If you're running Windows you may be able to get a PCI USB card to work.

I have a PCI usb card coming from eBay but what do I do about drivers for the card if I don't have any peripherals to use with the machine?
Will I be able to use it without them?
I've never got USB working with Windows 95. You'll have to ask someone else about that. (It's not enough to get the card running in Windows, you also have to find drivers for your devices, and I don't think Microsoft ever released USB mouse drivers for Windows 95)
Windows 98/Me should be fairly straightforward. They support USB mice out of the box.

I don't have any os on the pc yet, so how do I use the bios with the USB card without installing drivers?
The USB option in BIOS is for the integrated USB controller, which you cannot use because you don't have the ATX Form Card. Forget about it unless you can obtain the card.
What OS are you planning to install and what PCI card are you going to use?

I am going to install windows 98 se on the machine and this is the card I am using its just some generic card off eBay for 7 bucks.
This is another picture I found
Is that a VT6202 chip? You'll have to install drivers for it.

How will I be able to install drivers without a keyboard and mouse?
would there be a way to pre-install an os with the drivers on another pc and then transfer the hdd?
You will need to get an AT keyboard, or a PS/2 to AT keyboard adaptor. You will need this anyway even if you get a USB keyboard working, because you can't get into BIOS with a USB keyboard.
Does your computer have a CD-ROM drive? The simplest thing would be to download all necessary drivers on another computer and burn them on a CD-R. This will save time next time you need to install Windows on the machine.

Would I be able to solder a ps2 port on my mobo to replace the at keyboard port if it has the same pinout?
There is a header for a PS/2 keyboard next to the keyboard connector. The manual probably has a pinout diagram.

there isn't one?
It's a 7-pin header (labelled "PS1") for connection of a PS/2 port, not a PS/2 port itself.
