    Hey all. i was looking at my computer, trying to find an easy way to add GPS internally. here's my question. The unused mini-pCi-E pads in the small access hatch underneath the AA1, is it possible to tap this for USB signal? is there 5v and gnd close as well?

    thanks!

    next time, contnue your needs in the same thread. no need to make a new thread when youre just moving on i the dev of your original mod.. especially when a search would have answered your question.
