Thanks Josh for taking time to help.

I was thinking a solid state hard drive would be better for a mobile robot. Or is it just the fact that it is an internal type drive? confused

What do you think is the optimum amount of HD space for robot applications?

What is the difference between a EATX Power connector and an ATX Connector?

Thanks for the info 56 robot! give out the link, surely has to be a plug and play style, I would avoid the process of choosing a COM port and connect wirelessly, greetings.

Eatx is not a common term but it means enhanced atx connector which supports two addition al 12v lines. Its the seperate 4 wire plug that's often called the p4 connector. Plus it has 24 pin main connector. Anyways a 120 gig or so sized drive is great. When you first load windows create three partitions. One for windows one for a backup for system restore and third. Just for ezb files. Split them up equally.

This way if you get a virus or somthing you didnt loose all your robots files and the system restore partition being that large has plenty of space to make lots of restore points..

Here is the video of Nieks robot and his cable connection to the Mini board:

Thanks Herr Ball! Now all I need to know if communication is established by com port or something else is needed, Greetings!

@R2D2 I have been looking at similar options so I can put my net-book on my robot and remote in using Team-viewer or Logmein. As DJ said in this link Replace Bluetooth with USB It seems that most any TTL-USB adapter will work by swapping it in where the current Bluetooth module fits (make sure to match pins/connections as some may differ in order). After that, then yes, is connects to your computer's USB port and communication via virtual COM port (Windows should recognize and install drivers). Thus you connect in EX-Builder the exact same way, by choosing the correct COM Port. Hope this helps.

Thanks Gunner, Your information helps me, I guess the data transfer will be faster with a ttl-usb converter, that with BT.
