Getting Dashboard data in OS X 10.4.4?

I installed LabVIEW on my iBook tonight (1.42 GHz G4, 1 GB of RAM, Mac OS X 10.4.4), and decided to try the Dashboard program out. Everything seems to run fine (data plays back from the sample file, programs seem to run without incident). But when I tried to connect up the Dashboard port from our 2005 robot to the USB-to-serial adapter the team had (which had no driver CD in sight), I couldn't read data.

Does the Dashboard only read from 2006-era OIs?
Do I just need to find a different USB-serial adapter?
Should I try something a bit more fancy-schmancy, like Bluetooth?

Thanks!
