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
correction .. bootdisk windows 98 will not work if harddisk is formatted with NTFS ..
so better use the F8 option ..
