Wrong.
I built a fully functioning prototype that plugged into the Internal Serial
slot of my trusty MP2100.
It requires no software at all. It does require hardware ( it's own circuit
board ).
I engineered this myself.
I only built one as the cost and difficulty of the custom plastic needed was
high.
I use mine everyday. Works great !
Because the MP2x00 InterConnect Port is such a bad design ( fragile ), I may
reconsider making the "Dongle Destroyer" later but it is not a high priority
on my list as other repairs and upgrades are much more in demand.
