I can only try DIS v44 at the moment beacuase you need at least 80gb of free space for SSS Progman and this laptop has a 40gb HD, if it works im going to invest in a bigger HD.


This will be done using a DIAGHEAD emulator and the OBD2 port, I think it will work with the OPPS fibre optic multi-plexor but they cost around £400 - 600 on ebay, It can be done from any laptop or the IBM T30.
Fried the motherboard? Wow

Did you get the DIAGHEAD on fleebay?

Sorry to hear all your troubles. I have DIS 57 and SSS 32 running for well over a year on Sony Vaio via USB. I can supply this to anyone who asks...you can use your own laptop or I'll do it on their laptop for an extra fee.
