It took me a very long time to pick up my USB 2.0 5-Port PCI Card (did it
today).  The card is a Belkin with four external ports and one internal
port.  I took a look at the card and there are no pin connectors that I can
attach my two front panel ports to, and it looks like I will have to use a
USB Device Cable to only hook up ONE of the front panel ports.  Or, can I
hook up the two front panel ports to the cable going to the "insider?"

The other possibility is to remove one of the external ports and solder the
wires for the second front panel port in its place...

The cable going to the front panel ports has eight wires:

    blue    D2+
    yellow  D2-
    purple  D3+
    green   D3-
    brown   power
    red     power
    orange  ground
    white   ground

How can I determine what colored power and what colored ground wires should
be grouped with each D# set?

           Thanks ... Gerald
