Take a look at Eric's update of the commerce site.  Has quite a nice
collection of information on all the calcs and a serial cable that I
know functions perfectly as I've tested them on a wide variety of
cheap (and not so cheap) surveying equipment.  Some other cable
designs I've tried have the annoying tendency to drop the first
character, or spit out a garbage char on first transmission after an
OPENIO.

Hi Tim.
Thanks for the tip.
I just had a look at the cabel, and even though I really don't need
one, I'd like to buy it - it seems well designed and made  :-)
I just was sighing for the shipping to Italy that would be far more
than the cost of the cable itself :-/
Best regards.

Good on Eric for that cable, gotta organize reasonable shipping to OZ
though, $37 for a $20 cable is a bit too much

Hi reth.
Just after my post about the 33 USD shipping rate to Italy, Eric sent
me an e-mail where he stated that:

"the $33 is shipping for a calculator, which weighs a lot (total
shipped weight is just over 1 kg).  The cable only weighs 100 g or so,
making shipping a lot cheaper".

Accordingly, I ordered the cable wih a *5 USD* shipping fee to Italy -
I guess your rate will end to be fairly less than 37 USD :-)

Hope this helps.
Best regards.

This is a GREAT new, because the cost of it in Samson Cables is MUCH
more expensive.

My only question now is: has someone test the Erick=B4s cable ? Does it
work ? I always have good news from Erick, so hope he has done it
again.
