I don't know if this is the right place to put this information, but thought I would share this information since it has taken me several days to find this work around for an older Aqualand. I have the Citizen Hyper Aqualand Graph model D206 and I read where the official Citizen D20x watches will not work with the newer USB watch interface (D20x only work with old serial cable interface).

I have the old serial interface but my new computer has no serial connector. I tried several of the inexpensive USB to DB9 serial conversion cables and although these work fine on modems, they wont work on the watch. I read online where a lot of serial port based model airplane controller hobbyists are having good luck with the Belkin F5U103 USB to Serial adapter, so I thought I would give it a shot. It sells normally for around $35 but I found one that was advertised for MAC only on Ebay for ten bucks. I took a chance and tried it using the XP (PC) driver I found at http://web.belkin.com/support/download/downloaddetails.asp?download=132&lang=1
and viola! It works like a champ. I transferred all my dive info to my new PC!

Hope this helps for some of the older technology still providing good service in the field.
