ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus to configure a computer to receive cards of a first or second card type are disclosed. The computer is configured through the use of an adapter including a flexible cable having a first connector adjacent one end and a second connector adjacent the other end. The computer is configured by coupling the first connector to the computer. Also, a determination is made to receive either the first or the second card types. For a determination to receive the first card type, the flexible cable is bent in a predefined manner to orient the second connector with respect to the first connector to receive the first card type. For a determination to receive the second card type, the flexible cable is bent in another predefined manner to orient the second connector differently with respect to the first connector to receive the second card type.
