This may be old news, but I just updated my firmware using an Air Link 
101 USB to serial adapter:

There were at least two other similar devices at the store where I 
purchased it for basically $15.  The documentation was non-existent, but 
a search produced the above webpage with drivers for Windows 98 through 
XP but not Vista, Mac's, and Linux.  The documentation on how to install 
the XP driver was also non-existent, and if I hadn't had prior 
experience with drivers, I would have been befuddled.  However the 
installation went well, and it was installed as COM5.  Updating my Orion 
1 version 2 went from there without a hitch.
