Hi Rich,
What is the present configuration? Are there any NMEA output(s)? Perhaps a
multiplexer would be the answer. Have a look at www.brookhouseonline.com.
There are also some references to B&G instruments under "User Comments".
Cheers,
Wout

Aloha folks,

First time in this group.

I race on a boat here in Hawaii and I've been trying to get the owner to
buy the Performance Processor for our otherwise top B&G system so we can
hook up a laptop to it.

He doesn't want to spend the money.

So I'm wondering if the brain trust he might know another way to get a
RS232 interface that would cost less?
