    Hi all!
    One little annoyance of PEGs is having only one
    internal USB connector (AOne has two, AAAGH!).

    I need to put an USB port on the front panel
    to use with removable devices (pens, etc.)
    since it's too boring to reach the rear of my
    Peg far under the desk. The only internal
    USB connector is already used by my internal
    multi cards reader (and please don't answer
    to buy an external one because I DON'T WANT IT!!
    ;)

    Any idea ? Is there some kind of internal
    hub or such which I can use to have one or
    two extra internal USB connections ?

    Thanks!!!!

    Well, it could be a good idea but I'm in love
    with my beautiful Logitech UltraFlatX keyboard
    and wouldn't change it for nothing :)

    AFAIK one internal USB header is used for AGP.
    1 + 1 = 3 with very large values of 1

    Where, what ? There's any way to use it without
    modifying the board ? And how ?

    from any pegasos-dealer :-)

    Some AGP cards provide a USB header. If you manage to get such card you can use fourth USB header.

    Btw, Miky told me about an old MorphZone thread
    where they speak of hub chips compatibility,
    in the case I decided to buy a PCI USB card
    or just a frontal hub. Can someone point me
    on that thread please ?

    The thread is this one (I guess):
    https://morph.zone/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=3151&forum=11
    The chipset you should be looking for in an USB PCI card is the VIA VT6202.

    Kind regards,
    Andrea

    Thanks for the precious info !

    There's only one thing I really really can't
    understand: why Pegasos designers decided to
    put the fourth USB channel in the AGP slot, thus
    making it pretty unusable ?

    I don't think there're AGP gfx cards with any
    USB fetures/connection...
