I used the adapter Honeywell suggested on a KLN 89/B and didn't have any
problems. You must follow the button pushing sequence as prompted from the
Dataloader.

I did also and got only intermittent operation. Sometimes it would fail
right in the middle of the database upload (arggggg), but typically it just
wouldn't work at all. I had tried 2 other adapters with similar results. I
googled around and found some other people never got the recommended adapter
to work either, but for some it seems to work fine. I suspect the laptop
itself has something to do with it. At any rate with an older laptop with
an RS-232 port it works like a charm every time. The old laptop I have has
a dead battery and it's not much good for anything else. I just leave it in
the hangar most of the time.
