OBD 1 Software
Hey, all. 
So, I've been poking around online, and I've found a few different OBD 1 diagnostic software packages, but seemingly all of them are holdovers from the early 90s (somewhat understandable), and only run on outdated Windows platforms like Windows 98. So, without access to a super-old box that runs or can run on that old platform, it makes things a bit of a challenge.
Has anyone run across OBD 1-compatible diagnostic software that will run on Windows 10 - or at least Windows 7? It's not an emergency; all is well with the Vette. But, I'd rather get it early before I need it than have to park the car for longer than necessary when an issue does develop. Am I making sense?
Thanks for any info you can provide.
(As a favor, please, I'm not looking for responses just telling me how much you dislike Windows, if that's the case. We all have our preferences, and this is mine. Thank you for your consideration.)

Or you can install the software, then right click on the icon, choose properties, choose compatibility then Click
check box for compatibility mode and then select whatever version of Windows the software was originally designed for.
