[App_rpt] usb sound fob

[Jeff Lavoie]

It was Geeks.com with the part number that David posted as a 
possibility, CL-USCM2.  It was worth a try for the price, but not the 
right one.  Though these weren't on eBay when I made the purchase at 
Geeks.com, they are there now.  eBay Item #230225111865 is for a lot of 
100 that say they do have CM-108 chipset and look like the original ones 
from Geeks.com.  If you only need one, the same seller is selling them 
individually for a little bit lower price.  I think the lot of 100 will 
only save money if you are buying more than one.  In case the items are 
no longer viewable on eBay, the seller's name is karleader88.
