Windows 10: USB to 9 pin socket problem

Reluctant to loose the use of my old flight simulator as Windows 10 won't recognize it when using a normal joystick and playing any early versions of flight simulators I found a converter is available that overcomes the problem but the joystick must have a 9 pin plug at the end of it's cable in order to connect to the converter


The 9 pin plug arrangement was fitted to game controllers years ago but nowadays only male USB plugs are used which makes things difficult because I cannot locate a suitable cable adapter ( female USB to 9 pin plug) or even a one piece adapter in Amazon or E.bay , and wondered if anyone knew of one or knew of a suitable alternative. Thanks for any replies

(USB) 9 pin to x2 9 pin

mPCIe Combo and internal USB 2.0

Hi

It is possible to buy adapted 9 pin to x2 9 pin? I know it's one 9 pin port support 4 USB 2.0. Yes?

@ edit: No... 20 pin support 4 USB 2 but I want 5 USB 2 and 2 USB 3. Any idea?

I must have three onboard 9 pin connector.

I have new idea. On my mobo I have mPCIe Combo. There is an option to put interial USB to this Combo?

Thanks
