What operating system and type of serial port do you use ie, propper serial or USB/ Cardbus adaptors.
Im running XP and a USB to serial adaptor. Getting all sorts of errors whilst connected to the ECU or should I say when it wants to connect.
thinking of running dual operating systems (XP & 98) and getting a PCMCIA serial card.
Any help really appreciated
Cheers Brian
when booting your laptop .. keep on pressing F8 ...
if done correctly it will bring up a boot screen where you can choose COMMAND PROMPT only..
S8 doesnt like XP.. it predates XP
Or go to
http://www.bootdisk.com
And just download a bootdisk from windows 98 ..
place the S8 software on the C: drive and boot with the created floppy
and run S8 software.. no problem at all.
However I have it running under XP...
Used my resource kit utilities to apply xp settings to S8..
and changed some Fifo settings for the serial port
good luck
