The Sakaar one is a total piece of shit. Pardon my French. But the thing does not function at all. I've got one sitting on my desk right now. Put it in a USB port: spontaneous reboot. In fact, I've had that reaction on four different boxes (and before we say: see whitebox problem, two of those are Dell Latitude notebooks, which is what the thing is intended for).
Turns out the sucker basically doesn't work with XP SP2. And they haven't updated the drivers for the thing. Clunky interface, and hell, they don't even support it at their own website anymore (http://www.sakar.com/) Bleh. Tried that ;( I've got two of them hanging around in case anyone has an SP1 or Win2k machine they need to secure CW -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JRS Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2006 10:04 AM To: The Hardware List Subject: Re: [H] Oh, how I miss the "KeyLock" This one looks simpler... ;) http://www.ecost.com/ecost/ecmac/shop/detail~dpno~479823.asp >> >>How about a USB PC Lock?
