ALDL compatability
I have a laptop and ALDL cable and have used DataMaster (very briefly).
Would this setup work on any OBD1 car? It wouldn't have to just be my vette, but would it work on a buddy's car?
What kind of cars would my cables work on? What years were OBD1? Does it have to be Chevy product?

Re: ALDL compatability (GhosTRydeR_92)
Yes, it works with many vehicles. You just have to get reader software that works with it.
I personally use it on both my Vette and the S-10 Blazer. Datamaster has software for my blazer and i'm pretty sure the reason is because of the typhoon and syclone's. You might check their website. You can always use Diacom on just about any GM vehicle. Obviously this can only be done on 95 and older cars though.
