Mt friend just bought USB Card Reader/Writer model UISDMC4S, We are wondering how he hooks it up to his Dell Computer.

Well, with a USB card reader, you usually plug it into a USB port ;)

I thought the same thing but it is an internal drive looks like floppy drive but with little inserts for memorys sticks. Also this has wires to connect to the mother board but not where we see to connect them. :eek:

Oh, yeah, your motherboard should have USB pin outs on it. Sometimes these will go to a backplate that's provided with the motherboard, sometimes they will go to USB ports that are installed on the front of your case.

If there are none available, you'll have to unplug an existing USB port somewhere on the motherboard to plug the cable into.

They're neat lil drives. I almost picked up one of those myself. I really should get a floppy drive, and I'm sick of using an external reader, but I'm not paying 40 bucks for a floppy drive I don't need, and to replace a reader that already works fine (even if I am sick of using an external one, heh).

Well he gave up looking and went out bought an external. 25 bucks cost him at local computer store.

It more than likely hooks up to a free usb header on the motherboard.
