im thinking about ordering one, but if someone else has tried and it didnt work let me know.

it looks like that is a usb to lpt emulator..
what about this one.

its a tad more expensive but its true lpt hardware.

It looks like both might work but not sure, i was actually looking for something like so i can use it on my laptop but all ive found was wires that converts it to USB. Let us know if it works if you plan on buying any of those.

im not 100% sure if the cheaper one will work untill the SC team guys lets us know how the program talks to the clip.

im pretty sure the expensive one will, cause its an auctual pci lpt port.

________________
In modern Notebook PCs the legacy standard parallel port was eliminated.

Notebook PC user has following choices to connect the parallel device using:

Low cost USB to Parallel Adapter cable - Converter Cable.

Low cost PCMCIA Card (true EPP Port) - Koutech IO-CBP220 which is dual USB card with built in USB to Parallel converters.

Both of the above solutions emulate the parallel port only. They are not real parallel ports and provide very limited parallel port functionality.
The USB to parallel converters will not work with applications which require direct access to the parallel port registers: Data acquisition, JTAG programmers, software protection dongles etc. The USB to parallel converter hardware requires special drivers and must be driven by Windows XP or 2000 to support USB over the CardBus.

The EPP PCMCIA Parallel card
(Note that EPP standard was developed in late 80-ties to speed up the parallel port with PCs running at that time at 12 or 16 MHz. With today's Notebook PCs running over 100 times faster the EPP is obsolete and is mainly used for marketing purposes only. The EPP old standard over last 6 years is not any more supported by Microsoft and major PC manufacturers).

And the ultimate solution...
The Trans PC Card - Universal Parallel Port PCMCIA card.
The card we offer here is a real parallel port, mapped to the standard port I/O ad*******. It is driven by Microsft drivers of Windows, so there is no need for additional installation/drivers software. The card shows up in the Device Manger as a parallel port LPT1, LPT2 or LPT3. Therefore it is compatible with all parallel devices which can be driven by the fixed parallel ports of desktop PCs. The card may be used in DOS with provided card enabler or with Linux operating systems.

this is from the webpage of the expensive one.

Well, i ordered this one.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Trans-Digital-PC...QQcmdZViewItem
i must say, its perfect. works 100% with smart-clip and 100% with mpxdongle.

its 100% plug and play, there are no cds or any special program you run to make it work.. it uses windows xps LPT drivers so it auto detects it and your set.

you do have to check the compatibility box tho in smart-moto but no big deal.

if anyone was looking to use their laptop so they can go mobile and still use smart-clip to unlock the newer V3s and any other phones that need smart-moto program this is it.. its worth the $$$

the ebay guy is the company that makes them.

This is very true , you need a PCMICA parallel card !! No usb wires, things or etc will work being cheap will not work with the smart clip soo just buy the card....regards
