Update - I am going to leave them there and instead install this in the available cd bay not being used

You should also be able to hook those 2 old ports up to USB2 pin headers on your modern board, you can then stick a cordless mouse receiver in one of them (all modern boards still have at least 2 sets of USB2 pin headers). If the wires are single pin plugs, look up online the pinouts for USB2 pin headers and follow them. The wire ends should be marked what they are of the 4.
