IF the BIOS has a setting for USB, then any PCI Card with a NEC Chipset will suffice.
W98SE and later are supported O/S as well as *NIX.
Some SS7 MoBo came with header pins on the MoBo, therefore if you can find the pin out details it may be feasible to install a Back Plane 2xUSB, freeing up your PCI Slots

Check the suppport page for your model on the motherboard manufacturer's site to see if a manual download is available.
But those on-board USB ports won't be 2.0 compatible. Just go buy a USB 2.0 card for $10 or $15 on ebay.
When adding a card, leave the on-board USB enabled in cmos/bios setup even if you don't use it. Sometimes the add-on card won't setup properly otherwise.
Summary: You might check in cmos and make sure the floppy controller is enabled and the drive is identified as 1.44. Otherwise the drive is probably bad or the broken resistor is at fault. A pentium II mother...
