Really depends on how much you personally have an itch to scratch there.
The driver has one one-line change in 18 months, so it's uncertain how
actively the author is working on this one currently.
Low blood pressure approach if you can already import your .wlk data is to
just go with (a) and
Before I pulled the trigger and switched drivers from Simulator to Davis
Weather Monitor II (wmII.py) I took a look at the code. Upon inspection it
appears that the wmII driver can not access the hardware logger archive records
since there is no genArchiveRecords method, just genLoopPackets.
Fantastic! Thank you, Tom. I am sure glad I posted to the group. I will try
the wmII driver and report back the outcome. Give me a day or two to jump off
that cliff...

The WMII is not "supported", although there is a 3rd party driver for it:

I have no idea how well it works. Just browsing the code it seems
reasonably well written. Worth a try.

Great comments all, thank you.
I think there has been an "ahh haa" moment for me here. I was mainly relying
on the information provided in the Supported Hardware list located here:
https://weewx.com/hardware.html
...which lists my Davis Weather Monitor as a weewx compatible model. There is
Set debug=1, make sure you have quality system time (hint - run ntpd) and
just figure it all out experimentally
- which driver does your ancient station need ?
- does weewx wake up your console ok via your RS232 HAT ?
- does it try to download historical records from the logger ?
