Has anybody converted a Haicom hi-202e so that it can be used on a serial port, is it possible, I was hoping to put a 9 pin d plug on the end, I have a Fujitsu Pencentra 130 which is a hpc pro machine running windows ce 3.01 and a mips processer, I have spent many hours looking for a driver and come up with nothing. The unit is almost identical to the hi-203e, difference being the usb is inside the mouse on the 202 and in the cable on the 203.

Since the USB is inside the GPS mouse, it doesn't seem logical to cut off the USB connector and replace it by a 9-p serial connector.
USB signal is completely different and not compatible with a serial signal.
