I think Harold might have "hit on" part of the confusion... A printed circuit board NOT part of the Mother Board... The case I have has plain USB sockets on the front that meet the physical specs for USB (I checked), and ONLY have wires that run to a plain plug that goes on the header pins of my mother board. In my case, the "Case" is universal, and the Mother Board limitations control if USB 2 is supported.
