Hi I want to get a internal card reader and I was wondering what do they connect to on the motherboard? Do they connect to Floppy, IDE or S-ATA inside your computer? I have 2 hard disks connected to the IDE port and 2 DVD-RW drives connected to the other IDE port and a Floppy disk Drive connected (I don't want to get rid of it if the card readers use the same connection) or S-ATA I have two of those if It connects like the front USB ports and the headphone jack on the front of my case I have a free 8-pin usb connector (common on Asus motherboards). Thanks

alot of card reader will use 1/2 of 8pin usb on board extention plugs, no ide / sata / floppy connection required.

Others can use the floppy connectors.
Get whatever suits your mainboard best.
