MB disk drive, a hard disk with approximately 3MB to 6MB available (depending on your instal-
lation options), and a VGA or super VGA display.

In order to transfer flight plan data to your KLN 900, your system must also have:
5. A serial communications port (COM1:, COM2:, COM3:, or COM4:) available and functioning
under Microsoft Windows.
6. A PC interface cable that connects the KLN 900's data loader jack and your PC. Depending on
the manner in which you purchased your KLN 900, the cable may be an optional item or may
have been included in the original installation kit. Please use the order form on the following
page to order the interface cable.
