Look at the threads on this. I've been using a IBM Thinkpad-an old one that is a Pentium 4 150 Megahertz with a serial port. Datamaster works Great!!
Don't bother with any cable except one that uses a serial port. Lots more simple. No drivers or etc needed, just the cable and the program.

don't be scared about what you don't know.....most, if not all new laptops being made today don't even have serial ports. If loading drivers puts you off, than you are limiting yourself to additional available tuning tech. (Moates APU-1, Flash and burns, ostrich, blue tooth for tuning emulaters, AFRM'S etc.etc.).

I didn't have anyone local to me for help, although I owe big Thanks to C. Moates for all his time and help in learning tuning/set-up, not to mention M.Mansur for a good product and product support.
So, the next step for you will be an APU-1 (emulator), LM-1 ...and then the quest for the holy grail..... a 128/128 tune w/no SK's
actually, it's all good fun and I think you will find (aside from some learning curve) that you will learn more about how these cars really work.
almost forgot, go here and download the auto connect usb driver:
