Since the ECU discussions forum doesn't get a lot of traffic, you guys should check this thread out and see if you have any input.



Man I hate it when people mirror posts in other parts of the forum, that's so gay...

I didnt even bother looking at your link, but i assume you want to know what laptop to buy. Buy the cheapest one off ebay that runs win 98 and has at least a 20gig HD

all you need for the e6x is windows and a serial port. you should get at least a p1.



right now its dos, all you need is a 286, but the e6x windows software is in the pipeline

I emailed them about this but I haven't heard back yet...I heard on RX7club that the Halwin for the e6x was in testing phases.



But my question still remains: will a G4 w/ VirtualPC reliably run the Halwin software?

I'm going to use this laptop for school as well, therefore eliminating those eBay auctions.
