Default USB to Serial Converter

I have used a Belkin F5U109 to successfully upload waypoint databases
and downloads logger files from my SN10B. Used a Lenov Thinkpad X61S
Windows XP Pro. Just did it last weekend, 3/8/08. The original driver
did not work until I upgraded it from the Belkin web site.

I still wonder how well this arrangement will work to flash the
firmware. Still a little skeptical about that. Paul Remde's
recommendation to use a PC Card with a real serial UART may be a
better answer.

Anyone know if this Belkin F5U109 will flash SN10B firmware OK?
