Putting the USB in the UMPC
Ever wondered how you could add USB functionality to a UMPC? Here’s your chance to find out. It’s not without its risks, as blogger, thoughtfix, came to find out. As he eloquently described it, “That was tough. I burned my fingers several times, but got it done.” At least it gives you a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. The steps to set it all up are simple and easy to follow with the high-resolution images guiding you through. It all adds up to identifying the interface and pins on the internal USB port, locating a USB hub and fast flash drive that will physically fit, cut and wire the internal USB port to get it to communicate with the hub and wire a port on said hub to manage the Wifi/Bluetooth module. At the end, all you have to do is get it all to fit inside the small space. Learn more here.
