It's a bit awkward. There are lots of cheap holders that carry a MiniPCIe card in a PCIe slot, but these have no SIM holder. Someone posted here a while ago with some suggestions; one is to use a half-size MiniPCIe UMTS card (which don't seem to be very common) in a riser (Delock 65230) which fits the full size MiniPCIe slot and includes a SIM holder. There is also Delock 89235 which fits the PCIE slot and includes a SIM holder and antenna connectors, but it looks like it also requires a connection to a USB header in order to use the SIM holder. (I don't have one so don't know for sure about this). Or you might find some stock of the end-of-life Novatel EU850D which has a sim-holder built-in, but afaik this is the only card which does. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
