EVDOInfo.com Reviews the MicroU2E

MicroU2E USB to USB ExpressCard AdapterEVDOInfo tests and reviews the MicroU2E and finds it works with the Kyocera KPC680 (Verizon), Novatel Wireless Merlin XU870, EX720 (Sprint), V740 (Verizon), V640 (Verizon), and the Sierra Wireless Air Card 597E (Sprint). Additionally, EVDOInfo tested the KPC680 with CradlePoint's CTR350 and PHS300 EVDO routers using Synchrotech's MicroU2E. MicroU2E enables the use of USB 2.0 based 3G/4G ExpressCards with a whole range of computers that don't include an ExpressCard slot including Desktop PCs, MacBooks, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac Pro, Notebook PCs, and more.

EVDOInfo and its online store are authorized resellers, and are selling both Synchrotech's MicroU2E and MicroU2E 'Y' Extender Cable. They are experts on deploying 3G/4G devices, and are sure to find many uses for Synchrotech's innovative MicroU2E technology.

Elan USB T&M Devices CD-ROM for The Vista

The latest from Elan regarding their software for their USB Test and Measurement devices:


We have released a new installation CD for the test and measurement products.

There has been no change to the drivers themselves, but the CD has been changed to reduce installation problems that some customers encountered in Windows VISTA.

During the installation the INF files required to install the hardware are automatically placed into the Windows/INF folder. When the hardware is plugged in, selecting 'search automatically' for drivers should prompt the O/S to find them there. However VISTA (for some reason unknown to us) does not find the files in the INF folder all of the time, so sometimes the installation does not suceeed automatically and the user is them prompted to find the INF files 'by hand'. (Which can be a labourous process for a user who is not familiar with where they should be.)

This new CD image includes the INF files directly in a folder on the installation CD, as it appears that the new hardware wizard in VISTA will search the CD for the driver files. Please see link below:
