Unfortunately these people use Notebooks
That need well when they where new needed Com Ports and Win 98 as a Diagnostic Tool.
In the case I'm referring to Peugeot supplied a lead that plugged into a Comm Port and you plug that into the Car's Diagnostic Port. My Mercedes have the same type of thing under the bonnet where a Desktop may be useful but I've never seen the Diagnostic Lead that was available for them back in the early 70's and even then it was a Monster Box about 8 foot high and 7 feet long that was wheeled to the car to plug it in.
Peugeot being very forward thinking or maybe just after more money have made a Lead and 95/98 Software available to the Car Club Members as well as Ferrari I'm told but I honestly don't expect many calls from that car club.
Currently I'm using USB to Comm adapters which will most likely run out sooner rather than latter. So I've made a small order on Jaycar of everyone that they currently have. Sure it's only 20 and I have another 40 on Back Order with 30 current sales in excess of what's coming.
When I started with Classic Cars I never thought I'd be needing a computer to see why they ran badly.
I suppose now I'll need to ask Mercedes Germany what they have available and how much while I'm at it now.
