Laptop Adapter and Cable???
What type of cable plugs into the serial port on the LTX8? I have the software, but need to plug my laptop into the thing... What type of cable plugs into the port. I have no desire to pay $90+ for the thing from Micotech. Is it somthing I could snag from radioshack or compusa?

I think that you NEED the microtech adapter. I have not used the software/hardware yet personally from what I have read the maps are stored in the little adapter so it is a must.
That is how I understand it works maybe someone else with some more experience can chime in. |
Microtech is smarter than that.. The adapter is not something you can find at Radio Shack. You have to buy their part. I am a vendoe for them and I have the kit instock. $109.00 delivered. The kit includes: the adapter, 6 foot data cable, and CD-rom software.
Pm me if you need it.. |

Cable? Maybe.... Adapter no way...

The cable is just a serial cable, printers and just about anything uses it. the money maker is the adapter.

Nice, I already have the software. My friend has the adapter ( I think). A serial cable cost $5- $10 anywhere...
Now are the maps stored on the adapter? or is it just an adapter??? |
the cable comes standard with the microtech and is what saves the maps so you need their cable. for the laptop adapter it has a protocol built in so you need that to be able to communicate via the standalone to the laptop.
the only thing you can run with the system is a serial to USB adapter if your laptop doesn't have a serial port. |
