Title: What Bluetooth Chipsets Are Supported?
Post by: niv on June 03, 2005, 04:45:11 pm
Hay all,
I am very new here :-)

Googled long and wide and din't find an answer.

I figured to ask as I plan to add BT to the simpad according to the guide by beecon (http://beecon.de/projekte/SIMpadBT/)

Another small issue is:
I read at seattlewireless that the prism 3 is less sensetive then the previos prism 2.5:
SW link (http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/SenaoCard#head-4421ff6bd02a1b24c8c8ef132f80e6cc864954bb) look for "What's the difference between the Prism2 and the Prism3 chipsets"

I am looking to buy a SanDisk ConnectPlus of ebay. I read that some units had the prism 2.5  while other have the 3. how may I tell them apart?


thanks,
Niv

Niv,

if i don't have a real big blackout now, then you're talking
about WiFi.

Prism 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0 are WiFi chipsets by Intersil.

For WiFi:
SanDisk Connect is Prism 2.5, working with nearly every
Rom and on desktop Linux.
SanDisk ConnectPlus is Prism 3.0 with included memory
and a real pain, not recommended.

I did read that the connect plus isn't easy-living , one still can't use the wifi and storage at the same time, but one can manage.

Any other sullotions to offer storage and  wifi ?

- what say you about the SDIO? does OZ support it?

a Simpad.

Just wanted to help with the information about the
Prism chipsets.
