Title: Where May One Buy A Sandisk Connect Cf?
Post by: niv on August 24, 2005, 10:09:20 am

seems that the connect has the Prism 2 chipset.
That means better sensativity.
two mounths ago I saw a few selling at online stores, no I cant fins any.
Thanks,
Niv

Niv,

I would imagine that those have been discontinued, but FWIW I have not had a good experience with those cards.  They are extremely unreliable, with a tendency to stop working for no apparent reason.

I don't know what type of "sensitivity" you're looking for, but you can find the Connect+ on-line for less than $25 (Froogle it).  I'd think the prism3 chips would have at least equal (if not better) sensitivity than the prism2's.

Some of the new Senao 2511 cards are now built around the Prism3 chipset, this one, though newer, has less sensitivity (weaker than a Orinoco card/Hermes chipset)

I also read about it in other places.
however the Dlink DCF 660W (http://shopping.zdnet.co.uk/shopping/connectivity/cards-hubs-routers/0,20000391,20222881p,00.htm) may even be better.

better sensativity means longer range.
