Thanks for the continued suggestions.
There seems to be just a 7-core cable to the front: audio plus 4 memory
card slots, plus 2 USB ports,...). I guess it's USB plus mic plus left and
right audio...
Yes, I had to unplug this to seat the parallel PCI card, but I've checked
and it's reinstalled ok. If it wasn't I guess the front wouldn't work but
the back would?
It's a mystery!
