The extender is hardly or should be hardly an issue.. Use it for a mount point when you get the libby situated and know where you want to store it.. Or leave it together..I am using the port base as a mount for my car.. Will allow me to plug right in and have the gps unit and mp3 ready to go.. Now if I can only get linux to run maps. That I could import from sa ;-) -----Original Message----- From: T i m [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2002 5:57 PM To: Libretto Subject: Re: [LIB] Some answers please?

Buy a second dock for home.. Just my .02 [T] I agree with the price on PCMCIA <> Serial (they seem to be around 100 pounds new) but I'm not quite sure how big / heavy the Mini port extender is (I don't mean it's big or heavy but it's not as invisible as a PCMCIA card ... it's just we have to try and cut down to the minimum when motorcycle camping)? I take your point re the dongle though .. ;-( Thanks for your time Phillip .. ;-) T i m > > > -----Original Message----- > From: T i m [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2002 9:22 AM > To: Libretto > Subject: [LIB] Some answers please? > > Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2002 15:11:02 +0000 > From: T i m <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Some answers please? > > Hi All, > > I'm about the become the proud owner of a 50CT (32M) with all the > basic bits and will need a 12V power supply for it. > > Where would be the best place, what sort of price please (I'm in the > UK) (model number?)
