You know, I must apologize, April.  After posting that, I realized that the units I have are not the FORERUNNER….but the FORTREX 101 and 201. These were a later version of the Forerunner.  <blush> <cringe>

 

You can buy the Foretrex for basically the same price.

The Foretrex 101 has batteries the Fortrex 201 is rechargeable….apparently these were a later version of the Forerunner 101 and 201.

 

Both of these units have a PC interface.

From Garmin's web site:

Forerunner 101:

• Measures speed, distance, pace and calories burned; no PC interface
• Size: 3.3"W x 1.7"H x .9"D
• Weight: 2.6 ounces (74 g) with batteries
• Batteries: 2 AAAs; 15 hours

Also the megaGPS web site you link states:
"Please note: The difference between the Forerunner 201 and the Forerunner 101 is the Forerunner 101 does not have PC interface capabilities, runs on 2 AAA batteries, and has larger unit dimensions."

This interests me that you have a cable and are able to use it with the Forerunner 101. What kind of trackpoint storage does the 101 have? Does it have to use a cradle like the 201?
