I could refind it from the ebay-picture. I had to use another adapter because it's so big,
but then it worked.
But only with the software. Well, I had put the CD in my CD-box and their was no
decription on it ..., but I tried the correct one at first attempt.
I installed the software from CD-drive, but then it came with some long
3rd party software licensing agreement, which I'm not going to read.
So I clicked "no" But now I can't even get the data without using their software
and when I insert the cable now I get 3 fast short beeps under Windows XP.
I may try a Linux computer later
The CMS50D+ requires the special cable that comes with the D+ model. It has the serial conversion built in to it. The CMS50 -"F" and "I" models are able to use a standard USB cable. Also, it has been posted that the CMS50D+ can be picky when trying to connect for data download. Several users have advised that it may take several attempts before success.
