Steve,
The SMC 2102 works well with the IO, only time I have problem is transfering large file, example is 35 meg image file to another computer, *sometimes* it will just quit and stop. Also occasional disconnect when playing MP3, this are occasinal and workable. As far as web surfing I got a solid connection. Mounting it inside is also easy, its really small after you remove the case. To use the "other" USB port you need to get a capacitor and short a couple of points (zero ohm resistors), just like the hyperlink you posted said. My first IO I just did a getto mod, slap a velco at the back, shorten the USB connections to four inches, got a heat shink tube at radio shack and connect the it to the USB port and SMC 2102, nothing fancy but works fine...nobody real looks at the back anyway. My on project IO (MY IO), I am thinking on mounting it inside, but I am also interested with the RS232 mod, not much room after, MOD3 and RS232....maybe I will resort to my getto mod (velco) | |
