The internal USB connection would allow these new USB devices to be placed in your computer like conventional IDE/ATAPI devices but connect to the internal USB port.

KC Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 just like how some firewire cards have external ports and enternal ports.......mine has 2 on the outside and one on the inside, and Windows XP thinks it's a connection to the internet but we wont go there.
