The two packs are electrically almost identical, but
physically different. It wouldn't probably be much
of a problem to unsolder the wires from the eMate
pack and solder them to the 2x00 pack. Before
this is attempted, it is advisable to check if
the connector on the eMate mainboard is wired in
a way that ground is connected to one side of the
temperature resistor. This is definitely the case
inside the 2x00 pack and definitely not inside
the eMate pack, hence such a project would only
result in something that's electrically identical if
this connection is present on the eMate's=20
power connector.
