Some laptops carry a RFID tag, as "asset control" or how'sthatdamnedthingcalled. Newer Toshibas(?) have their configuration EEPROM chip (what is used today instead of CMOS RAM) as eg. AT24RF08 (check eg. http://www.elecdesign.com/1998/june0898/bb/0608bb4.shtml or google atmel.com for the datasheet). Pondering to get one such chip to play with, if I'll get time. Carrying things in metal briefcases has the pleasant side effect of shielding those little narcs. The life is so short and there are so many toys! :) PS: Doesn't anyone here know how are called those connectors that are used to connect digital displays to computer cards? Those that have arrays of holes in three rows in rectangular array, like eg. on recent Matrox videocards? I need one and my favorite stores don't carry them and I can't find it in any online catalogs without knowing its name.
