Look for something with the SUN1888 chip on it. Call around & check if the adv doesn't say. If you can get one with the B.O.B. for the 2nd port included, that's just gravy on the biscuits IMO. Might be another $10 on this side of the big pond. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
