Guess who besides now being an RN is a Computer Engineer by degree! :-)

There are all SORTS of different physical interface formats. Stupid I know but there are. At least three different USB which is probably what the "slotted flat plug ends" are. And I can ;t remember what the round ones you describe are but they are an old computer interface format.

All you need are two small cheap physical adapters, USB to "round pin type" on the back of your computer.

And that is the nice thing about having computer interface standards, we have so many to choose from!

Now you know why I became an RN? Computers got too STUPID! And your Best Buy Geek Squad tech will have what you need, and charge you a $100 tech fee to do it FOR you!
