According to the Mares website, you should be able to download it here: http://computer.mares.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/73/1/cp210x-driver-xp-s2k3-vista-windows-7-8-and-10 <http://computer.mares.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/73/1/cp210x-driver-xp-s2k3-vista-windows-7-8-and-10>
> 2. the Puck Pro needs to be switched into PC mode. With the single button menu structure this is non-trivial, especially when not able to see the screen. This PDF has all the information, but I'm not sure how well you can parse this with a screen reader: https://www.scubadoctor.com.au/downloads/computer-manuals/Mares_Puck_Pro.pdf <https://www.scubadoctor.com.au/downloads/computer-manuals/Mares_Puck_Pro.pdf>
