I just ordered & received the AIS Receiver from NASA-UK and am trying to figure out if it is possible to hook it up & work on my 300mhz Mac G3 Wallstreet Powerbook(PB). This PB has a built-in serial port which my GPS uses but how do I hook up the AIS receiver which also requires a serial port? I have a USB PCMCIA card also installed in this PB which the Keyspan USB-to-Serial adapter can be plugged into. Can I plug the AIS receiver via the Keyspan adapter into this PB USB card and will GPSNavX be able to read the NMEA info. from BOTH serial ports at the same time? This Powerbook looks just like the one on the GPSNavX Home Page.
