Brain built MS3 install- QQ on connection
Hey All! Getting ready to install my MS3 on a stick (for now) 94.
I use an old windows based PC that has a serial port, however the MS3 supports USB also. I was planning to simply run a serial cable, any reason I should go USB instead?
I am not sure if Brain loaded a base map or not- so I want to be ready to connect.
Thanks is advance!

If Brainy actually built the MS3 including the serial port (RS232), then there's no reason not to use it. In theory RS232 should be electrically a little more reliable than USB, if memory serves me right. I'm not sure what the standard baud rates are, so it may be a tad bit slower, but not slow enough to annoy you.

I have used both connectors on my MS3X. I use USB exclusively now. It works perfectly in Linux, OS X, and Windows 7/8.1. Your MS also came with a basemap installed as Braineack uses it to test that the MS is working.
