Hello,

I have a Pentium 3 with a P6BAP Me 646 motherboard,
I bought an internal card reader to connect to it...

It’s a Connectland CR 102 card reader
The manual says to connect the USB connector to the one on the motherboard.
Where should I connect it?

I don’t have the manual for this motherboard, can you help me?

The memory card reader has two connectors:
- 1 marked USB with the indication VCC2 + USB2- and USB2+
1 green, white, and red wire + 1 separate black wire GND2

- 1 other marked C.reader with indication VCC1 + USB1- and USB1+
1 green, white, and red wire and 1 separate black wire GND1

Thank you very much for the assistance you will provide...
Configuration: Motherboard P6BAP Me 646 XP family

You found the solution because I'm in the same problem as you; an internal memory card reader but with only one black socket with four wires (green, red, black, and white) and I don't know where to connect it on the motherboard...

Hello,

I have searched the entire forum but I can't find a solution to connect my internal card reader.

I don't have a USB port on my motherboard; I've examined it thoroughly and I can't see where I could connect this cable.

Also, many people talk about a USB cable with 5 wires, but mine has 9 wires! (5 + 4)

Thanks for your help. I didn't pay much for this reader, so if it's more reasonable to get another one, just let me know ; ) (I care more about my motherboard...)

My PC is a Dell (I know compatibility isn't the best...)
I'm running Windows XP

The cable I'm trying to connect has the following:
4 wires: GND (black); DATA+ (red); DATA- (yellow); VCC (blue)
5 wires: GND (black); GND (brown); DATA+ (orange); DATA- (green); VCC (purple)

THANK YOU.
PS: If you need info about my motherboard, let me know how I can provide it :)

If you do not have a USB port (set of pins) on your motherboard, then it is not possible. You will need to find another memory card reader that connects differently....

Thank you for your quick response.

I will indeed choose another reader, I had a feeling about it.

Thanks again.

If there is a COM port on the motherboard, this is where it should be connected.

This black connector ultimately plugs into an internal USB port on the motherboard, consisting of metal pins. There is a specific orientation to follow for the red wire because it can damage the motherboard on older models. On newer models, there is a protection in place. You need to check the motherboard documentation to find the internal USB ports.

I have the same problem: I don’t know which way to connect my card reader to the motherboard... But even better: there’s nothing written on the cables of the reader, impossible to know where the Vcc and GND are...
I was told that the black wire is the ground.

Is the red one the Vcc?

The best part: it says "easy installation" on the box!!

Hello,

Thank you for your replies, but I fear there’s no COM port either; to be honest, there are no connectors with pins...

So I took on the role of McGyver and cut a male/male USB Type A cable. I connected both ends (the two sets of 4 wires) to the terminal of the internal USB cable, respecting not the colors but their meaning: (for example, red: data + with the purple VCC, etc.) Not forgetting to connect the ground (the thick black wire) to the terminal even though there is no wire opposite.
I connected my two USB cables to the back of my PC, and that did the trick! ; )

There are two downsides to this setup: you’re using two USB ports and when you disconnect a drive, you must not disconnect all USB peripherals, otherwise the reader gets disconnected too.

There you go, no need to buy a new reader...

Get your screwdrivers ready!! ; )

To simplify the task for you, you just need to buy a USB/internal memory card reader cable for cheap.

Indeed, it's the COM port. I'm glad to have found the solution on this site. Thank you.

Hello
Same problem
Do you have a reference for a cable or PCI card * that allows this connection
I have a Dell with only a serial 5+6 connector on the motherboard, and I can't find either the mentioned cable or a USB or COM card with the appropriate connectivity
Thank you for the link or the reference
