52in1 card reader install?

[Busie23]

The reader has a J3 pin connector, the board has a J2. Is there any adapter or external usb 2.0 card that I can but that will have the J3 connector on it so I can plug it in? I have looked at a ton of cards on newegg and can't fin any that this thing will plu directly into.

52in1 card reader install?

52 features in 1 reader! Wow!

I've never seen any USB header connectors described as "J2" or "J3", there's no particular standard for the pin-outs.

You could just pull the wires out of the connector and arrange them properly to match the pin-out of the mainboard. Or cut them and splice the wires back in the right order.

I didn't know there were 52 kinds of memory cards in existence. Please list 20 of them. As the Lord says . . . wow! It would help if you could link to a website that illustrates this reader. A visual on the connector would help.

Here is the 52 in 1 reader i bought: Card Reader

Another pic at Newegg

The motherboard doesn't support USB 2.0 at all from what I have been able to find. It is a MSI K7T Turbo. The manual available online is different that how my board is layed out. But here is the connection I'm looking at: USB

The manual that comes with the reader has the pin out on it, but I can't line it up with my boards pin out. The baord has 10 pins, so it looks like I would have to break one off to get this connector to fit since it has a blank for it's 10th pin.

Reader Pins

What do the "VCC" designations mean on the board layout? Vacant?

The connector has 9 holes, and they will align nicely with the 9 pins sown in your picture.

The 52-in-1 is largely a piece of semantic chicanery. Example - CF1 and CF2 have exactly the same form factor. So do many of the others.
