Cocolino PS/2 Design Flaw

[systmcrsh]

just thought i'd post that there is a design flaw with the cocolino ps/2 adapter.

i have an a600 and because of some extra plastic on the adapter, the adapter would not plug in all the way.

i had to open it up and reposition the device inside it's housing --- cheap plastic broke easily and i had to use a velcro strap to hold it back together. i repositioned it so now it will plug in flush with the 600's port. poorly designed.

but the good news is that it works awesomely

yeah "poorly designed" is prolly a bit harsh...

ive never owned anything other than a 600, so i just assumed the mouse connections on the 500/1200 were identical. maybe thats not the case. it does seem that a simple redesign could accommodate all models including the 600.

anyhow, i did manage to get it working + dont regret the purchase at all
