For yours (ie no paperclip test), yes.  It ain't perfect by any means, and you MUST have a computer with a GENUINE COM1 (not USB to serial adapters).

Aye, my one worked with MJ's cheapo tech2. But judging by others experience, safest to say need a proper COM1

I have a spare Dell Latitude C600 kicking around, might invest in one of those for the 2.2's....
