I use a Jupiter 12 channel GPS. I bought it as self-making set,
including another board with a TTL to RS232 converter and backup battery
logics. I've put everything into one box and soldered the cable by
myself, using the cable from an old AppleTalk box. As power source I use
10 1.2Volt NiMH cells which give about 12h GPS reception.

Yes. It should do not only the binary protocol but the NMEA183 at
4800,n,8,1.
