Price is reasonable for an emulator but will it work in a Delco.
I am unable to find any info on the unit that I can read.

It'll work for the emulation side, but getting anything to talk to it from the pc will be the problem.. it states dos software (which presumably also means type your address, type your data, hit 'send to prom'.. ok that was one raw byte.
You could use it with TP if you can decode the protocol, or its in the manual and you can write a TP5 plugin.

I bought one of those about 4 years ago and wasnt very impressed with it .
You can use it on win xp but you have to use a program called port talk with it(included in software).
It would not work at first but with a few simple mods it will work on a delco.
It has no batt backup so when you turn ign off you loose the bin on the ram.
It will not work with tunerpro
Dont waste your time with it ,the extra money spent on a ostrich is money well spent .
Also i could only get it to work on one of five pcs i had at the time no matter how i set the printer port .
