I have a 3-4 year old Intel El Paso motherboard w/82845 chipset. It has 2
front mounted USB 1.1 ports. I traced the cable to the connector on the
motherboard and it's easily accessible.

My question: Is there a USB 2.0 PCI card out there that has an internal
connector compatible with the motherboard connector? The idea being that I
could just unplug the cable from the motherboard and plug it into my shiny
new 2.0 card and have front accessible USB 2.0 ports.

?

TIA

It might help if you looked up the pinout for that front
port- check the manual, or if all else fails and you have a
multimeter, check continuity from the port to the cable
socket contacts.

Old El Paso motherboard, eh? Is that the Tortilla or Fajita chipset? ;o)

Sorry, couldn't resist. It's not a model I've ever come across, TBH.
