stinger download

[fireater42]

Hi All,
Forgive me if I put this in the wrong area, but i've never used a forum before. I am a Rapid Deployment Search And Recovery Diver and have been using mt Stinger for 3 years now. I find it to be a superior computer for our type of diving,(we can't see a computer display anyway), because it can be safely stowed out of the way. I have however just purchased a new laptop computer, and it has neither a floppy drive to load the operating driver or the proper connection on the machine to plug in the cradle.Does anyone know if this can be overcome and how?

The Suunto cable i have has a male RS 232 end on it and my shiney new laptop only has USB sockets. I had to get an adapter cable to go from one to t'other. Radio shack is your best bet. I remember it was about $20.

To install your software with no disc drive, i'd down load it from their web site and install from your C drive. I believe you'll be down loading a newer version of the Dive Manager than will probably have been supplied with the computer any way.
Hope this helps.
Dan
