Ciao a tutti !

I have a Meade Starfinder with Magellan II Computer and I still have problem to connect it to a RS232 PC Serial Port. Is there anyboy there that can 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 ?? (Here in italy I found only 4 wires cable !!) The pin diagram is really right in Meade site page ??

Finally in an "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 !!
