Anyone have any experience with these?
I picked up a couple recently (cheap) thinking that Tag would still support them since they are still indemnified. First mistake. Reliable Racing provided a little support in the form of a basic user guide, but other than that they can't do much. The manual I do have is for a 501, but seems similar.
I am wanting to use them as a "dumb" timebase, for use with a program like Fiddleware. Is the cable similar to the one for the 505 (1/8" mono plug and pins 2 and 5 on a DB 9)? Any tips for using it in this environment?
Any tips for running alpine ski races with them would be greatly appreciated (program settings...). Since it's no longer supported, I opened it up and was happy to find that it isn't overly complicated to repair. I cleaned up some minor button issues and removed a little corrosion, but otherwise the units seem fairly straight-forward and in good shape. Any chance of getting the schematics, or does Tag want them to die a quick and painful death?
Thanks
