Probably the easiest way to hack the power, would be to snip the cig lighter end of the car adaptor and run the wire into your 12 volt power. Seems easy enough..

This carpc has the USB 1.1 as far as I know. I used this with a Delorme USB GPS receiver and never had any problems acquiring satellites, tracking, etc...

I've also used the machine with a USB 4 port hub with a mouse, the delorme, keyboard, and USB hard drive key and didn't notice any issues with speed, problems with the GPS, etc.

Any other questions just ask/post
