Hello Ken !

I have a Meade Starfinder with Magellan II Computer and I still have problem to connect it to a RS232 PC Serial Port. Can you or something else explain me what to do to work fine with SkyChart or other "Magellan II-compatible" programs ? I have to buy a 6 wires phone jack ??

Finally in the LX50 site they talk about an Upgrade Software V1.6 for Magellan II to make it Y2K compliant , it works for a Starfinder too ??

(Is the NOT-upgraded Magellan II Y2k compliant??)

Sorry for so many questions...

Thanks a lot !!

Paolo.
