Thanks for ordering the cable from us. In case anyone else wants one, the cable is $22.99 (free shipping) anywhere in the Continental US. Shipping is extra elsewhere. We tried a different cable in the past and it didn't work. This one is very reliable and works with Windows 7. We'll help you get the drivers for other machines if you need them.
The LB35XX software has improved a lot. There is a new feature called "bounce on wire" that has the robot make arcs on its way back to the base. This prevents the tracks in the lawn but it takes longer for the robot to get back. You also have to change the installation. Our "Professional Installation Guide" (for sale on our site in Lawnbott accessories) tells you how to make the changes. We have not tried it ourselves yet so we would love anyone's feedback for how well it works.
Another new feature we like is the ability to set a zone at 10%. This is especially important if some zones are smaller and the yard is very big. Now the robot won't waste a lot of time in a small area.
For those of you who don't have the LB35XX robot but really want these features, there is a sale going on right now. There are only a few days left. Buy it from our site because you can get 6 months free financing via PayPal Bill Me Later. I have requested an extension to the sale but I don't know if that will happen. The last day is Monday, Sept. 30.
