Anyone have a YDS for sale or have any suggestions on where to buy or use one?

Ditto, got mine from fleabay also. Installation was easy, but dang, that com port 1 sure is a must. You can also get it on a dedicated tablet, and I almost went that route for ease of use and storage on the boat, but ended up just getting the disc and downloading it onto my old laptop. If you’re lucky, there may be someone nearby who lets you borrow theirs, or lets you download it using their disc, and then you’d just need to purchase the cable.

It can run with wine. But you need to find a way to map to com:1 port and I couldn’t figure out how to do that with my MacBook Pro with usb c.

That looks like it could work! I’m interested in the tablet so I can store it on the boat. Anyone have the specs on that?
