usb3 header to usb2

My friend has an MSI P67A-C45 Intel P67 and has just got a 600t case, it needs 2 usb front panel connectors,but it only has one usb2 port so he can only use 2 of the front panel ports on top of case, is there anyway around this ?

thanks lee

thats very interesting actually, im not sure if the usb2/3 differ physically/electrically, it might be all controlled by the mobo...

USB 3 also has the usb2 headers on there. The blue slot is a different pin config, so you would need an internal adapter to go to usb2. Not sure if they are available yet.
