Title: Header pinout help
Post by: bloodline on January 12, 2005, 09:15:19 AM
I have these headers on my Motherboard, they provide a Firewire port, does anyone know where to get an adaptor or even how to build one?

I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but i have a firewire port on the front of my case, with "flying leads" to connect to a motherboard port (i think its the one you mention), but I have no header on the mobo, so i just tuck the wires away.

Infact, seen as I dont use it, I can see if its detachable if you want it.

Yeah... well i thought my 400 watt PSU and case (and 1 case fan!) for £12 was gonna sux, and people said it would, but a 28 day uptime means something is working OK at least. Saying that, im only running an Athlon 750 in there, im not so sure how the cheaper PSU would cope with an XP CPU or something along those lines. Ebuyer rox for cheapo stuff's. :-P
