Internal USB connections for Mitsumi FDD

Hi everyone.
 I'm 57, retired, trying to impress my children, grandchildren, and even maybe myself with this new hobby project of mine.
This is my first question post. I may have a few (??) others as this project goes on.
 My old, current, PC is a DELL Dimension XPS R450 running Win98 I upgraded with a P3 1Ghz with 640MB RAM, 1 WD120GB & 1WD 40GB HD's, Yamaha CDRW and a new ASUS CD ROM with Comcast High Speed internet. I use mostly Netscape 7.02. PC runs great!
I am building my first PC with the components listed below. It has not been plugged in yet and no OS or drivers of anything loaded. I have several printouts from "building your PC" sites to follow.
I still have to decide where I want what connected to.  I have, as of now, 1 WD 160GB SATA and 1 Seagate 160GB ATA HD's. I'd like to connected them to SATA 3 (Win XP loaded here) and IDE 3 in a Raid 1 format for mirroring thus freeing up IDE 1 & 2 for individual channels for the CDRW and future DVD RW drive. That's why I got the ATA133 Controller card for extra hookups (DVD Rom drive). My monitor arrives later this week.
   I have 2 front USB ports on the case with 2 internal wires with 2 female clips going to JUSB1 pins. One clip goes to the #1-8 pins & the other to the #2-10 pins.
There are no JUSB2 pins on this board. It would have made this too simple.
I do not have the D-Bracket connected because that goes to all the JUSB1 pins and the JDB1 connection pins.
My question:
 I have a Mitsumi FA 402 in Black 7-1 internal FDD (reads all the camera card types also) that has an internal USB wire and 4 pin (Female) clip that I don't know where to connect. I thought of connecting it to the 4 pins of the JDB1 but then figured that was not the same because the D-Bracket had its own USB connection that went to the JUSB1 connection and the JDB1 was strictly for that other wire on the D-Bracket. The rear of the Mitsumi has the standard Floppy cable pins, the 4 pin white power clip and the black wire for the USB clip. It states on the website "# USB Powered: No extra power supply required". I thought that if a device connects to a USB connection that the connection also supplies the power for that device. Why would I have to connect the white four pin power connection to the main PS, or am I wrong (confused)?
I have no manual and the website does not display a download manual for this model.
 If I disconnect the one front 4 pin USB wire from the JUSB1 connection and connect the 4 pin clip from the Mitsumi in it's place will that work and will I still have one working front USB port? I think it would work.
 Can I ever connect the D-Bracket? I have read in the past pages of someone wanting to connect a "Y" splitter for his fans to the pins on the MB and I learned that is a "no no". I am assuming this also goes for trying to put a splitter on the USB pins (if they even make this type of splitter)?
 I have already read back pages and "Guides" posted by others of this forum for a similar problem with negative results.
I can say that the 3 days I have read this forum, it is the "BEST".
I'm sure someone has solved this problem with having front USB ports and an internal device needing USB connection. Any help or suggestions?

All,
 I think I found a card that may be of use for future info to others if this problem arises again. This is the first site I checked using a Google search for USB2.0 CONTROLLER CARD PCI  EXT /  INT
http://www.outpost.com/product/3744226
  8 Port Firewire 1394 / USB2.0 PCI Card ( USB 2.0 - 4 Ext + 1 Int) ( 1394 - 2 Ext + 1 Int)
It also has pins connections on the internal of the card.
# Supports Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, and XP
# 4 External Type A USB 2.0 Ports
# 1 Internal Type A USB 2.0 Port
# 2 External 1394 Ports
# 1 Internal 1394 Port
# 1 additional port (pins) coming out from J3 For USB 2.0
# 1 additional port (pins) coming out from JP3 For FIREWIRE
# J3 & JP3 is for those people have USB and Firewire port in the front of their computer case.
* Pin header of Single port for cabling to front panel (Cable not included)
USB2.0 CONTROLLER CARD PCI  EXT /  INT
  Guess I'll check the rest of the links from Google but this seems to fill the bill.
 Thanks to all.

  • USB connection for iphone 5 hotspot is not working

    I am using OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro and all of a sudden it is not recognizing my iphone 5 as a hotspot using the usb connection.  It does connect using bluetooth.  Any suggestions? 

    Hello there, mcMlast.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting issues with no sound from the speaker on your iOS device:
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please  contact Apple Support.
    Learn more about troubleshooting iPhone hardware issues.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • NMT and 5800XM USB connectivity (for Mac)

     Hi everyone,
    I just wanted anyone's ideas and feedback regarding a problem I'm having with my NMT and 5800XM on my Macbook (10.6.x).
    I've updated my firmware on my phone V.40 and also NMT v1.4.2.  The problem I'm having is that my computer does not recognize the phone when connected via USB and the PC Suite option is set on the phone.  The phone registers it as connected, but the NMT on my computer does not detect the phone at all.  Hence I've had to use Bluetooth to connect to NMT, but it's much slower.
    Has any Mac users have had this problem?  If so, does anyone have an idea on how to solve it? Or could this be some software issue with the phone, or NMT?
    Thanks.  Your feedback is much appreciated.
    JC

    I have two USB hubs without a separate power supply. One is older (USB 1.1) and will drive an external hard drive, the newer hub (2.0) is more compact and will not support an external hard disk drive. I cannot find any listing of the power properties of the hubs themselves, or other hubs for sale, and so do not know which might work better. I suspect a non-powered hub is not ideal for an external hard disk drive.
    My solution is to buy a small bluetooth mouse and forget about using a USB hub for a mouse and instead use the port mostly for a USB flash drive.

  • USB connection for TravelDock for MicroPhoto

    I love my TravelDock, but I have a minor issue. When the MicroPhoto is docked in the TravelDock, and then connected to my computer via the USB connection in the rear of the TravelDock, the computer does not detect anything. I have the TravelDock and MicroPhoto powered on and plugged in via AC adapter, but it is still not detected by my computer. When I unplug the same USB cable from the rear of the TravelDock, undock my MicroPhoto, and directly connect the MicroPhoto using the USB cable, the computer detects the player! Has anyone else come across this problem? Am I missing something here or is it probably a faulty TravelDock?Otherwise, the TravelDock works wonderfully as a stand-alone unit.

  • USB connection for Android phone "disk was not ejected Properly"

    My Macbook Pro OS 10.6 has begun to display "disk was not ejected properly" when I connect my Motorola Photon android phone with USB cable to sync (drop and drag).  Now I might be able to connect.  Or lately I have the phone icon flash on the laptop screen like it is connecting only to get the error message "the disk was not ejected properly".  Sometimes I am in the middle of drop and drag and it happens.  Can anyone help?

    I would make sure to keep the phone from sleeping and keep it awake for one.
    It may be that the iTunes services get in the way too.
    I use Samsung Note (tablet and phone) but Windows 8 (better support than 7) on Mac Pro. Which is what this forum is, not notebook but that doesn't seem to matter (half a dozen or more a day think it is)

    Also mine work better on USB3, though you may not have that if you are running 10.6, in fact you may not have the latest iTunes either (10.7.1 I think currently) which may also want to look at - may require Lioin 10.7.5.

  • Mac Mini 2014 Not reconising USB connections for ipads

    Hi, we have a Mac mini 2014 1.4GHz and currently having some issues with it. The Mac mini is used in an education setting. We are using the Mac mini for updating iPads in conjunction with a sync and charge trolly. When we are using the Apple Configurator to create profiles to push out to the iPads not all are being recognisetheir are 26 iPads in total and only a maximum of 18 is ever detected. ihave tried with my own personal laptop which is a MacBook Pro early 2011 and detects all 26 using the Apple Configurator. Does anyone know about USB limitations on the new Mac mini's? Also, we have had a replacement from the supplier and still the same.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated.

    Thanks Gary. Given your confirmation that it should be possible, I've taken the fact that the external drive doesn't appear as a choice in "startup disk" as an indication that my disk is the issue. I did try two alternatives method to get the .iso to disk given your hint,
    The first, using UNetbootin rather than my linux distribution and it does come back with a message rather specific after it finishes:  "The created USB device will not boot off a Mac.  Insert it into a PC, and select the USB boot option in the BIOS boot menu".
    The second, using Disk Utility but the restore section for the target volume doesn't seems interested in me dragging the .iso to the 'source' field.
    And that's with two different OS's .iso. so assuming that's not the right alternative either.
    Few questions from there if I may,
    Is there anything special I should take care off while doing the formatting to boot from a mac (mini)?  (I'd welcome any link to a validated method)
    what do you do when you have a non mac keyboard? (I had used "C")
    should the PXE method have worked as well on the mac mini?
    (Thanks again for that first response Gary)

    Set the USB guitar input as Master Clock, set the Builtin In/Out to resample.
    Set the Aggregate Device (whatever you name it) as the audio device in Logic.
    You will have more inputs and outputs in Logic and there's no telling how thaty will be unumbered, Logic's funny that way. Experiment.
