snarl.. just bought two CM-119 USB FOBs locally and they're potted... tempted to fling them in the bin.. growl... Paint stripper, heat, and solvent won't get this snot off.. cue FBH but hey I have self control!!!!
Ok what are my options? This old POS 1990's computer has a parallel port. Maybe easier to just get the proper USB FOB from elsewhere than hax0r up some parallel port lovin, but not keen on the absurd freight from the US.
Suggestions? sigh.
The StarTech FOB is available at NewEgg. A construction article and URL to obtain the FOB is available in the link directly below: http://www.repeater-builder.com/projects/fob/startech-fob.html I've had excellent results obtaining (real) CM119 FOB's by searching on eBay and Google for a SYBA product called SD-CM-UAUD71. Every one I have purchased has been a leaded CM119 and included a EEPROM, not that it's a necessity. This device can be purchased for a few dollars less - usually. Here is one example, eBay item number: 380699698562 I'm in the process of writing a conversion article which will cover this device and it will be available from the following index page when I get it done: http://www.repeater-builder.com/voip/voip-index.html I have nothing to do with the companies listed above - their mention exists because I am a satisfied customer. I do NOT guarantee that what YOU buy will be what I have received in the past. Potted CM119's should be saved for remote receiver deployments where you don't need to modify it. Good Luck, Kevin Custer
