Helo guys

Yesterday I opened my old PC which was waiting lonely in the cellar. I took out some parts which can still be used. Among these there is an old card reader from Medion (German firm). I still have all the cables but don't really know where to put them on the mainboard (Asrock 970 Pro 3 R2.0).
Among the pictures I give to you there also is a schematic which shows how the card reader was built in in my old PC.
I hope you can help me.
I don't need any advices such as: "Buy a new one". I'm fine with the speed and everything.
Already thanks a lot.

The Pictures were too big, so that I uploaded them on SkyDrive:

Probably it plugs into an mainboard USB header; this is the usual way.

That was something I thougt about too, but the green and the red cable aren't the same. The green cable does not fit in any of the plugs/connectors.
In spite of everything I thank you a lot.
After all I think I'll buy a new card reader, something like this:

Still have a nice sunday.
