I have a MegaSquirt fuel injection ECU on the old car and the tuning software for that communicates via the serial port. As do most of these aftermarket ECUs. Works under '98 through to W7. Of course most laptops these days need a USB to serial adaptor. Think with XP (or perhaps older) I had to install Hyper Terminal first. But that might have been with the earlier different tuning software. -- *Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things? * Dave Plowman dave@davenoise.co.uk London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.
