"I used a Belkin adapter with mixed results with the Colibri. One of the

Belkin would get assigned comm port 3 or 4 and SeeYou would only let you
have options of =A00 and 1 so would not recognise the unit. SeeYou would
allow more port options. =A0I could hard reassign the ports and make it
work."

I've had the same trouble with my Volkslogger. *I got a docking

do wish I had an adapter that worked. *Any suggestions?

I don't own or regularly use any of the electronic instruments, so I
can't speak from direct soaring experience, but I use the Keyspan
KS-19a with Apple and Wintel laptops for programming microcontrollers
(Atmel AVR via STK500 or AVRISP, if anyone's counting). I switched to
this unit from a Belkin on the advice of some folks in the DIY
electronics community, and I'm very satisfied. I've even made it work
with a few Windows apps emulated through WINE on my Macbook. Through
WINE, I can just assign it to COM1. Not sure what the situation is
like on Windows, but I bet there's some Device Manager trickery to do
the same.
