No p02 for Petrel (Divecan)?

This I understand, but...

Yes, and hence it requires that the comX is actually present, no?

As I stated previously, there was no comX assigned to the Petrel when I
used the SD to download, which led me to assume that the SD does it in
some other way.

So to be clear, when I use the universal tool, I need to first configure
the Petrel Bt-device to be a serial device, then use that comX-device to
do a dump of the dives, yes?

Alas, I had a chance to do this just a moment ago, but with no result. I
only had about 20 minutes, so what I did was trying the Subsurface (maybe
I should really post this on Subsurface-maillist), checking the
dump-option:

Latest Subsurface from git on Linux FC 22 with Dell-laptop: The Bt is
found, paired, but when I hit download, the DC immediately switches out of
the Bt-state with an error message (abrupt command or something
therewith). No dump-file.

Latest Subsurface from git on Linux FC 22 with Dell-laptop: Instead of
using the Bt-configuration in Subsurface, configure it separately with
Blueman to use /dev/rfcomm0 -> Same result as above, no dump-file.

Subsurface 4.5 on Windows 7 with Dell-laptop: Same result as above, no
dump-file.

Subsurface 4.4.93 on Windows XP with Compal 91. Ditto

If I used the SD on the Compal XP, then it downloaded everything without a
hitch.

I will try to get one unit, or at least the Shearwater-handset borrowed
for a full day, to get into this more thoroughly.
