That might be me; we did have some discussions about the protocol etc. way back when and I did use the M100 with a Delorme Tripmate to log my trips for a while; fun and some interesting data, but not terribly useful in the end. I can't find any notes or programs at a fast look but it wasn't

Indeed. As a matter of fact there's a lot more to it in an M100: not only is the pinout substantially different and the required signals are not even all directly available, but even the pin spacing is not standard. For an M100 you definitely need an adapter with some extra logic in addition

It needs more than just remapping the signals; the required upper two address lines are not available on the sockets so you either need to add logic to recreate them or modify the main board. m - Original Message - From: Gregory McGill To: m...@bitchin100.com Sent: Wednesday,
