Slightly cheaper here: http://mrmodchips.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=815{18}59

But the postage is little higher, for me it's about 1gbp cheaper from mrmodchips.

The description says: "USB 2.0 High Speed"

But the atmel chip is a Full Speed!!!

These were made by Xecuter for the PS3 dongle mods

They made them as a "dev board" to avoid import/export bans and sony litigation.

I guess now they have plenty of them leftover to shift.

I can recommend
http://www.mikroe.com/
dev boards.
I have no payment from them so this is not paid commercial or something like that

I am simply using them for years now.
but they are little bit more expensive. Still very cheap comparing to others.

I doubt they were handmade... Xecuter is one of the big players in the modchip industry and they ship hundreds of thousands of devices each year
