It was Rob that asked about straps, I wish I did have a source of VR3 straps

No I didn't, I've already got VR3 straps (2) on my KISS handsets - you can get them from any VR3 supplier.
But I'm going to be moving them ....

There is a breakdown on my website at http://www.rebreather.ca
You may need to refresh.

The computer costs $1,300 US and is useable as an OC/CC air/nitrox/trimix computer as is. The standard computer includes a Fischer connector and the pin out is compatible with existing VR3 connnector cables. It also include dive logging, but you need to buy the PC download software. Ross Hemingway offers it for $25 on his website at http://www.hhssoftware.com/shearwater

If you want to connect it to all three sensors on your KISS, there are connection kits available, or you can make your own.

The HUD is a completely separate and self contained product for $700. It comes with a connector that will screw right into your connection kit for a 15 minute installation. Or you can make your own connection. It doesn't require the computer to work.

Does that all make sense?

Thanks Bruce,

Why only two connectors for the classic?

I look forward to seeing the pictures.

The Sport KISS comes with three connectors and always has. I just use their triple connector.

The older Classic KISS's didn't have a wire connector. They had the tubes. So I made a custom kidney with a screw port on it. I now put two ports on it for the computer and the HUD.

The new Classic kidney's use three wires, and the connectors are right, but there are no connections between the cells, so I still need to provide a kidney. I haven't had a close look at the new kidneys to see what it would take to use them.
