I bought a very cheap no-name PCI card to download my EW model D logger
- works fine with no problems at all. As it provides a standard serial
port in hardware, I'd guess it would work with the Cambridge as well.

I'd considered a USB serial port, but numerous threads on RAS indicate
that the compatability of these with your particular laptop can be a
matter of luck. The Belkin seemed to be reported as most likely to work,
but it was 4 x the cost of my cheap PCI card so I thought I'd save the
money for launches.

Anybody out there use a Serial to USB adapter to transfer flights from
their Cambridge Model 20 GPS-NAV? Does it work? Any problems? Which
model adapter do you use?

I'm planning on upgrading my equipment, and I won't have a 9 pin
serial port on my new computer? I'd like to get rid of my old computer
and just have one.

I have used a Belkin F5U109 for this task.

But I believe a better option is to use a PCI serial card.
