    I'm looking at the cheap 1x -16X USB 3.0 riser boards on ebay, typically used for bitcoin miners. if I took an old mini Pci-e wifi card could I make an adaptor to a USB 3.0 socket so I can connect the 16X riser via the USB 3.0 cable? The risers aren't USB3.0 they just use the cable. But it would make for a very simple and easy to add connection.
    I've pretty much identified the connections and it is powered via a std Disk drive connector for 5v & 12V the board has a 3.3v reg on board.
    Has anyone tried this? any advice?
