Just as long as all you want is 96+ (and possibly a few 95's thrown in) I've had an older serial based scantool.net ELMSCAN 5 kicking around since 2003. One of the reasons I was excited when netbooks first hit was that I could buy one just to use with it just to use with it. I paid $120 for the tool back in the day, and it was well worth it then, but I think the newer usb elmscans are only going for like $60... The free software is limited, but will give you just about everything you need and is still much more.. if you need anything more, I've been really happy with the scanmaster xl software, which although not free, gives you a bunch of functionality that you don't even see in $900+ scan tools.. As far as linux based software for the elm327

if you want cheaper, there are schematics online somewhere you can use and I think there's somewhere you can pick up an ELM327 chip, you should be looking at somewhere around $25 in parts+ your time to put it together. Stay with a reputable manufacturer and/or reseller though, as the multiple clones on ebay are usually somehow made incorrectly (Sadly), even though it's such a simple design....

good luck!

Sometimes they get it right in at least one regard though (like in Dirty Harry our hero only shot 5 shots in the ending gun fight leaving 1 left for the end)

that's because they blow up better than your standard 1u and 4u servers when things go wrong ;)

I can't see page 4 myself, keeps kicking back to page 1...

The Hollywood GUI installed on the server probably isn't helping things.

Depends on by what "computer" means... it doesn't change the poll result though

I still use my trusty AppleIIgs regularly, ~22-23 years old or so.. I rarely find myself using my vic20 though, but occasionally I'll fire up my 'ol IBM 5150... if oscilloscopes counted, my workhorses are both at least twice as old as I am (Tek type 535 and a Tek type 547)

haha!

Seriously though, Hollywood isn't serious enough about this, if it were real life, the password would be clearly labeled on a post-it note stuck to the monitor of the offending computer.

I'm convinced it's this whole "web 2.0" junk,

Taking 1 page of information and making you click 20,000 times to view it all

They might change that after they get a gander of what their server room looks like now. ;)

Which model?

I've always wanted a discrete unit like a /45 myself...

I'll reach that dream some day!

The reason I bought my last batch of floppies was to install raid drivers on some 'doze servers... Other than that,I keep a working set of old computers and I tend to buy up DD 360kb 5 1/4's and dd 720kb 3 1/2's whenever I see them pop up...

I just installed a wrt160nl with the new dd-wrt last week for a client of mine, happy with it thus far.. seems to get better range than a wrt54gl (with legal US stock dd-wrt settings and stock hardware/antennas) too as a bonus, stable thus far but time will tell if it was built well and if it's wall wart can survive constant use.
