Step One -- Familiarize Yourself with Connectors

First, get a box of cards to be sorted, pour them into a pile in the center of the table, and rummage through them, looking for these connector types:

  • HD15 Hd15port.png (three rows of holes)
  • RJ11 Rj11port.png (like for a phone)
  • RJ45 Rj45port.png (bigger than an RJ11)
  • BNC Bncport.png (sticks out, like for cable TV)
  • Little Round Sound Ports Soundports.png

There will be other connector types, but the above ones are all you need to pay attention to in order to complete this job.

Step Two -- The Basic Sort

Pick up each card and using the following chart, put each card in one of five piles (video, sound, modem, network, and everything else.)

This is a graph with borders and nodes. Maybe there is an Imagemap used so the nodes may be linking to some Pages.

Step Three -- The Sub-sort

Get someone to check your work so far, and they will show you how to tell PCI, ISA, and AGP slots from all the other types of card slots. Then you can use the below charts to subsort each of the five piles into a grand total of twelve piles. (See the bold ovals below each of the five main types to do your sub-sort.)

This is a graph with borders and nodes. Maybe there is an Imagemap used so the nodes may be linking to some Pages.
