For desktops, you can buy USB ports. I have a couple of 3-port ones
myself, bought to save the hassle of plugging things into the mobo's
ones at the back of the cabinet. They fit where a 3½ floppy would go
but there are adapters to fit a 5¼ window as well. Each has two more
ports on the card itself.
