Apple puter for ECUFlash and min requirments for PC
Apple here as well. EcuFlash/OpenPort 1.3 would not work for me on my PB 17 using VPC and Win2000 Pro. Apparently the USB buffering between VPC and the hardware was not up to par with dedicated hardware.
I use several old laptops for tuning. But I recently picked up an old Toshiba Tecra 8000 266 with 128Mb of RAM on eBay for $150. Rare to see a laptop with both USB and DB-9 Serial. So now I can use one laptop for all my tuning and logging packages...and it works very well.

Damn, sucks that VPC wont work. I am still going to try it anyway and see what's up. Found a copy at work.
Dells have USB and DB9 serial. Great to use. I need to cough up the cash and get me a crappy PC laptop and put a lot of RAM in there.

Just to post an update. I just recieved a beta version of the D2xx driver's for OS X. This eliminates the primary obstacle for building the existing ecuflash source base on Apple machines.
Colby, willing to share a snapshot of the source?

Will EcuFlash work on this laptop???

Don't bother with Windows 98.. there are no working current .NET libraries for it and its officially "unsupported" and "End of Life"
You will have to install Windows2000 on the laptop, the odds are very good it'll run without problem on it.

Windows 2000 has both the .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 libraries, so presumably it will work?
On my laptop, Windows 2000 runs fine, but Windows XP (due to all the added useless cruft) runs quite a bit slower.
Hopefully it runs on Windows 2000... anyone confirm?
