For some reason you are stuck in 1996.
And on the new connector, I would be willing to bet there is an adapter made where you can still use the current charger for charging only. Maybe not data xfer though since the pins are different.
Here's your adapter, if and when it happens (you may have the USB option) :
My Asus MB (2005) has features where hardware can be disabled (as most do). Drivers for the MB have to be installed via CD that comes with the MB. Yes, mine is old, but only 7 years old. Asus K8V SE Deluxe with AMD 64.

The K8V SE Deluxe uses an onboard Audio CODEC that lets you enjoy high-quality 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound cards.
Still going, still fucking going, and fast.
Godfather may be missing a driver for sound.
