Sure. The Aeris XR1 is an odd device. It has only 1K of memory and contains no 
logbook or profile ringbuffer. That means it isn't capable of recording any 
dives and thus you can't download them either. But it does support a PC 
interface. I suppose it's intended for changing settings, and not for 
downloading dives. That's why it's listed as supported by libdivecomputer.

The Oceanic Veo 1.0 is another such device.
