I'd love to be able to get one of those floppy drives with the memory card readers, but they all use an internal USB connection. I have 2 internal USBs on my NF-7S, and I need both for front and rear USB ports.
Can I make a splitter for one of the internal ports or will this mess something up?

Or, can I mod the internal USB connection on the drive to use an external (regular?) USB connector and plug it that way?

Anyone?

You can't just split them, you would need a usb hub. You could try another usbcard, as suggested, or just unhook some of your back usb ports and use a hub plugged into whatever ones still work. Whatever you prefer/is cheapest.
 
Yeah, I guess I'll have to get a hub... Maybe a PCI card, but I want to keep things clear for my fan card to cool my video card...

Thanks all :)
