i got an multicard reader... but it was was oem so there is no instructions...

its got a 5 pin block connector with 1 pin filled in

so its got 9 pins...

does it goto usb_1/2( 9 pin)

or does it goto 1394?(also 9pin) same shape n everything...
 
It connects to the USB port on the motherboard. Some card readers also have 1394 (mini Firewire port). Then there would be 2 lines coming off the reader. One for USB and one for 1394. I have one that has both.
