MiniJam and Serial Connection

Has anyone made the MiniJam work with a serial connection? I know that it would take longer than with USB to transfer the files, but since I have a couple weeks left where I have to work on a PC with Win 95, I was wondering IF I could somehow make it work. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I don't think it's possible.. The software was written to use USB.. I also find it highly unlikely Innogear will release a serial version, they haven't even officially supported XP or OS X..

If you were some kind of wizz bang windows hacker and could trick windows into thinking the serial port was a USB port then maybe , but then again you are using Win95 and USB on Win95 is a very scary situation to be in.. USB and Win95 don't play nice together..

Even if you did get it to work the transfer would be so long it would in most cases kill the battery on your visor.. (unless you have visor with a rechargeable internal battery - i.e. Prism, Edge and it's sitting in the cradle the whole time)..

Good luck, however ,, I also would be very curious to see if someone did figure it out though...
