2 kinds of user. The Bleeding Edge guy and the USER who doesn't upgrade every time somebody even whispers the word.
Problem is one of compatibility at the extreme. JPG will be around for a while as will most of the audio formats.
Just TRY to find a computer with a serial port! I NEED one for a legacy device and might end up on the reef.

I've had great results with the Keyspan by Tripp Lite USA-19HS USB to Serial Adapter. There are several brands on the market but this one has been very compatible and reliable - good drivers. I use it on my Mac under Mac OS and Windows to gain access to the service processor on Sun servers and Cisco switches. These devices use an RJ45 style connector for the serial connection so I also get the "Cisco Serial Cable". You can search on both items at Amazon.
And the Cisco RJ45 Serial Cable for those devices that use an RJ45 style serial port
My 'legacy' device is the old school 9-pin.
It is a Garmin GPS BEFORE they went to USB.
I have ALL the GARMIN maps for the Western US in TOPO format (USCGS COPIES?) and need to
put some on my now ancient GPS.

Tried a USB / SERIAL convertor with NO luck. Its been a couple months and I took my test piece BACK.
I don't know if it was a MAC issue or what, but No Joy. Or maybe it was something to do with a GPS maybe 1st or 2nd generation handheld.
New GPS which is 'native' USB actually works as intended.
