Glad to hear that you have got your data cable, Spud

Family can be a good source,

I managed to get an old HP MINI 110- 1030NR from my son. It was abandoned ,collecting dust in one of his cupboards.

Its pretty well beat up but good enough to use just as a diagnostic laptop.

One drawback is that it has a 10 inch screen, this seems to cause a small problem for PCHUD resizing its window and cuts a section of the status byte info at the bottom.
This can easily be worked around by arranging a 2nd view of the gauges where they are in view (.hud).
Then you can easily toggle between the 2 views whilst running the PCHUD software.
