Cool!
One thing though, the VGA is off the daughter board.. I'll have to look
again but I think it's
sound, usb, ps/2, and one more thing.. I'm trying to find the pdf's now and
I'll put them on the web
for people to take a look at (unless I get a nasty gram for giving free
advertising to Lanner of course)

I missed that reference.. I'll have to look for it, but PLEASE tell us what
you find.. a 6inch extension sounds just about perfect!

There's the Doug we all know and love!
But you are correct I agree that custom connectors are better (especily for
something like ps2 that is only on by friction) for wearable use

That was from an email I got when enquiring about my exchange.  I will
probably end up buying another one becuase I have a farly large credit left
with them after traiding in my $588 EM-350
oh darn.. I'll have to have another wearable!  Or possibly go the MIThril
rout and do a body network.. hmmm :-)

Notice of course that it said 'available now' but that I'm still waiting for
one to be shipped from Tiawan.. YMMV (but I doubt it)
