Snipped
The situation seems to have improved somewhat over recent years, at
least as far as recently manufactured MoBos and USB adapters are
concerned. I don't know how long it took before the industry finally
spotted their "Schoolboy Howler" and corrected the design. I suspect
it took something like a decade for them to finally sit up and take
notice.
FWIW.. This company specialised in 78 restoration and developed systems
to do that some time ago now..
