I have a Z3812A that I added back in the GPS receiver and modified it (moving 6 zero ohm resistors) to work as a standalone GPS.  Basically it's now a stand-alone Z3811.  I have Lady Heather working with it now.  The hack of using the RS-422 output to directly drive a RS-232 serial port does not work very well with most older RS-232 receiver chips.  I have to control it with a USB-Serial cable.


If you are ever interested in playing with the Lucent boxes (Z3811, Z3812) I would be glad to send you a working system to play with.  Sure would like to use LH with it.
