Hugh, I have the diacom on my laptop and usually have it out on the river when staying at the GRH. Last time I had it, we hooked it up to Johns BAJA and Bruces Pantera, pretty cool tool.
I will let you know the next time I am out there in the event you are around to hook it up.

Thanks, I just might take you up on that.
Will not be there for the Rat Run, so I was kind of looking at checking things before the summer.

Just ordered Diacom for my 496HO's. Had a few buzzers go off.
I used to run Diacom for ODB1-2 for my 85 corvette. I used to run it on a 386 laptop....
That should bring back some memories to some.
I'll keep posted how this modern version works out.
Special Thanks out to Dave_N. Thanks for all your replies and help on this forum.

I'm looking at either a scan tool or the Diacom software for the up coming season. Would like to hear pro and cons from you guys that have either. I'm leaning towards the Diacom program...any help?

I ended up getting the Rinda Scan Tool (not the software) and it has worked great on my boat. It led me to find and fix my problem of a faulty exhaust temp sensor. I don't have any experience with the software. I would recommend that you call Rinda and talk to them about what you want to do with the reader/software and let them help you decide. I remember them being nice people.
