[gpsd-users] Delorme Earthmate Hyperformance Serial GPS

[IT1 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR]

List members,

I recently found an old Delorme Earthmate Hyperformance serial GPS  
(Zodiac chipset I understand) that I'd like to get fired up with gpsd.  
Initially, I'd like to get it spitting out GPS data but also I'd like  
to use it for PPS output for NTPD.

I am new to gpsd, so any help would be appreciated.

I have also read some postings that set forth that if the traces for  
GPIO2 and GPIO3 are cut on the Zodiac chip it will permanently go into  
NMEA mode, is this true? Has anyone tried this? I suggested this to  
someone else on another list asking a similar question but never heard  
back.

Thanks in advance.
