Hi Andrew, thanks for the reply, yes the problem is Blobbed epoxy chips. Even when the vendor shows the chip type or even picture, there is no guarantee it will not be a blob, I have fallen foul of cheap Chinese imports on Ebay. I have since found the information relating to the parallel port here, http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/177 Thanks, Regards Carl M1ELR ALLLSTAR node 27473.

What is the problem with those USB fobs? Is it that they are epoxy blobbed? If they are packaged chips, is it because they are not CM108? What chip are they? Please post the vendor ID/Product ID info. I have been working with CM108 compatible chips- maybe I can contribute something useful here. 73, Andrew ZL3AME
