Serial port
There seems to be standard dual Uart's for possible dual serial support on this board.Discussion
15/08/07 BlueIce : There is a version 2 of this product that MAY not have a mini PCI card as it may be integrated:( How to tell the difference between v2 and v1 remains to be answered.
2/3/08 Peter melb_ap : Well thats the end of this era with the new model having a slower cpu & no mini-pci ! I'll be looking for something else in the future ! See the pics above for yourself.
It has all the pros of the r100/wl500g (minus the parallel port) but with USB2 , BUT now with only a 244 Mhz CPU (was 266 prev), 8 meg flash & 32 meg memory standard.
