Looking for a download cable for a Genesis React Pro dive computer, circa 2002. Can't get into the medical aspects, but belongs to a diver I treated (successfully). We were able to cycle through the log and get depths, total dive times, and surface intervals, but it would be nice to download and have a look at the actual profiles.

There were at least two versions of this cable from my research on the internet. If you have one that may fit the bill, please PM me, and we can discuss borrowing or rental and return.

Here are a couple of pics of the computer:

If you can't find one, you can almost certainly connect a regular serial port to those pins with "micro clips". If your computer doesn't have one, you can use a cheap USB to RS232 adapter and then the micro clips. There are 3 connections on that computer and they're likely +5v, GND, DATA. it won't harm anything to get those mixed up so just trial and error it until you get it working.
