I have a net 4526-20 so I don't have USB. I'm not tried to using the mini pci it just was the only other way I saw to add things to my machine.
But now I'm wondering if I can't find one that just connects to the serial port? Any recommendations? Maybe something like this: http://www.thegpsstore.com/USGlobalSat-BR355-Serial-GPS-Receiver-P1484C11.aspx with an adapter for the serial port on the Soekris?
