Is it possible to put two usb devices where you soldered the bluetooth connection?

What I want to do is replace the wireless pci car inside with the broadcom HD card and add a wi-fi card in the same manner as the bluetooth. I was going to use either the buffalo or the Mvix Nubbin wi-fi adapters.

Also adding in the bluetooth internally as well would be nice too but Im not sure if its possible

What I can’t find is an *INTERNAL* wimax card. Obviously, they’re being made if they’re starting to sell these things with wimax built-in, but where can I get just the card, and are these cards dual wimax/wifi , or are there two seperate cards in these new netbooks?

that should read nano *GPS* module. :)

just found two bluetooth modules here, one from a Sony VGN-T1XP with external antenna, and a ZA2390P02 from a Toshiba laptop.

oh, and don’t forget adding internal Saleae Logic analyser and PIC/AVR/E2PROM programmer :) that’s my next hack.

bonus if one of the Logic inputs connects to the otherwise useless infrared port…

just got one of these machines (16GB SSD/XPH/1GB) from Dabs. Nice idea to use an internal USB connector, but I have more cunning plans.

Just recently acquired from Ebay some micro Sirfstar III based nano bluetooth modules, not much bigger than a mini wireless card. That access port… :)

enough space in theory for ceramic antenna, module and wiring leaving enough space for a bluetooth module.

the question i have tnkgrl, is are you aware of any serial port or infrared, as it seems that the module i have can be connected to them and be recognised by netstumbler etc.

any ideas? :)

I have a aspire one w/8.9″ monitor. Is it possible for me to buy a 10.1″ screen and replace it?

Hey kong,

I managed to make the same mistake. Were you able to get a new clip?

Let me know
