Hi folks. Well, I finished the next version of the BT-001 card.
This one is Blunt capable and work with the "Internal Module" setting
and the Generic driver at 57600.

I haven't done much testing yet. However, range seems to be poor. I
don't know if this is my fault yet, but it probably is. I am not an
RF radio engineer, and I built the antenna design based on my best
guess. I may have guessed wrong.
Range seems to be about 5 feet with the cover off, less with the back
cover on. I haven't tried scraping off the shielding of the inside
of the case to see if this makes a difference.
It does work though, and I've successfully used Blunt and Neo to
transfer notes to my Powerbook.
Jake
