okies ... I don't have a picture of YOUR motherboard ..  but .. if it is CAPABLE of using an additional USB device it should have on it a set of pins for FP-USB  (front panel USB) .. this is what you plug the cable into, the other end goes to a similar set of pins on the card reader

here is an example ......

On the edge of the existing fp usb there is a connector but a long single row one.  Maybe i just need a different adaptor cable?

Probably not as the connectors are "standard". It is more likely that your motherboard does not support additional USB's.. in which case you have options..

1. Bin the additional device :(

2. Buy a PCI plug in USB addon card, many of these have the extra pins inboard, this would also give you more USB's at the back.

3. Unplug the existing FP USB and use it for the card reader, but lose the front panel USB's
