This combo works fine in the middle miniPCIe slot of the APU. You'll need a
full size SIM card for the SIM card slot.
That's a mini SIM! Full-sized is like a credit card, the early Motorola
GSM phones used them, they slid into the end of the phone.
That's what I used to think too… remember using a phone like that
(Motorola MicroTAC… micro compared to other phones of its era, nothing
micro about it today).
I seem to recall the Ericsson A1018S I was using around the turn of the
century referred to the smaller (almost full SD-card-sized) SIM cards as
U-SIMs.
Then I had lone of a iSquareMobility Kite for a few months (which is a
nice bit of kit BTW), and initially thought my SIM card (what I
understand was a U-SIM, in the older parlance) would fit. *WRONG*.
Apparently, that is now what they call a "full-size" SIM today. U-SIMs
are now a little bigger than a MicroSD card… and now they've got this
silly nano-SIM format which needs to sit in a tray that's *bigger* than
the "full-size" SIM it replaced!
Yes, this is "progress". Anyway, I digress, this discussion has bugger
all to do with OpenBSD, where at least sanity prevails which is why we
can enjoy a sub-1GB ISO image download each new release.
