CIBDiving:I would like to know more about the problem with useing a USB to rs232 adapter. What (if any) errors were reported? Exactly when did it fail? ect.
rainman_02:I have the RS232 official Suunto cable and some cheap generic RS232 to USB adaptor since my laptop doesn't have an RS232 port. The only problems I had were the positioning of the Suunto contacts so that they actually touched the Gekko contacts without losing connection.
CIBDiving:Didn't you try it once and we had a failure? It went into the water in guage but it acted like it was in air mode once it started the dive.
CIBDiving:You wouldn't be inclined to share a little more info would you??
