Internal card reader/usb hub (Was: How to: CD on Zip Drive bay in G3 400 B/W?)

[Stephen Jonke]

What I'd like to add is not a 2nd optical, but rather one of those  
multi-card reader/USB/firewire thingies. Typically they are designed to  
mount in a PC floppy bay. How hard would it be to get one of those to  
fit in zip bay of a PowerMac G4 Digital Audio? Has anyone here done  
this?

Here is an example of one (albeit this one doesn't have a firewire  
port):

Aside from mounting it, all these thigies seem to be based on some  
funky windows motherboard USB connections. I can only presume that Macs  
don't use this. I have seen elsewhere, though, an adapter cable that  
turns these funky motherboard connectors into normal USB connectors,  
though I can't recall where I saw it. Would have to search for it  
again. Since my USB 2 card has an internal port, could just use one of  
those adapter cables and plug into that internal port. Anyway, that  
part I have effectively licked, but mounting it I'm not sure about.
