Glenn, jup, it is. The 811HS is one of the nicest implementations at
the moment. The chip itself offersonly one port, while the AnyCard
has, as you might have noticed on some pictures, two connectors.
That's because Jeri could get these dual connectors for next to
nothing. On the V1 cards they are in parallel, and therefore only one
is usable. For V2 we might add a switch so one can use then as
alternatives.

Do you have any experiance with the SL811HS? I'm still trying to
figure out some details.
