I don't know the system, but the year 1991 has the same dates/weekdays as 2019 eg Tuesday 9th April (also 2002, 2013)

Very preferably one with a USB plug on one end, but if I can only find one with a serial port I will try to find a friend with a suitable Windows computer. (I only have Macs.)
Or maybe I could post my Pilot III to you if you have access to everything else? A couple of beer tokens would be included

Dear pilots,
Unfortunately a technical problem came up relating to the GPS of certain ADL110B, ADL120 and ADL130. Please note that other types of devices are not affected.
Due to the latest GPS rollover the Garmin 15xLW chips in those devices are no longer able to properly determine the date. This leads to quite a number of problems and some ADL features will no longer work as intended.
Tests of my remaining stock have shown that not all chips are affected. Unfortunately there is no list of the affected devices. Initial tests suggested all was fine, but it turned out this was just luck testing unaffected chips.
Affected devices can be updated free of charge, but the ADL devices will have to be sent here for this procedure.
IF YOUR ADL110B, ADL120 or ADL130 DISPLAYS A STRANGE DATE (PROBABLY IN SEPTEMBER 2099) WHILE YOU HAVE BLUE GPS BARS, PLEASE SEND IT HERE FOR THE FREE UPDATE. Another indication of the same problem is if the internet tracking shows dates in the year 2035.
Please send the devices to (and please state a return address):
Golze Engineering
Dr. Sebastian Golze
Bredowstr. 29
10551 Berlin
Germany
Please send the actual device only. Do not send any cables, antennas or similar.
Fly safe!
Sebastian
