hi there!
the serial cable bought from hong kong just arrived two days ago,i tried it this morning with vds pro,which i burned on a cd.i created a bootable disc .
as i have just got a laptop with windows 7 64 bit and with no serial port,i bought this item from ebay italy.
http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

the vds pro i downloaded from here:
http://www.filecrop.com/VDS-PRO.html

i have installed the correct drivers and its ok,working fine.
but when i boot from vds pro disc it gives me the following error:

cd-rom device driver for ide(four channels supported).
driver version:v340
device name:banana
no devices found,aborting installation

what is the problem in your point of view?

should i get an old laptop or will it work in dos even if i have got a windows 7 64 bit laptop?
many thankx for replying.

Can you post the control unit numbers it is returning?

I don't tend to check the engine number. When you go and check the references that you need to change, they're either the expected values or '0'. It's pretty much expected that the '0' references aren't the applicable ones.

If you read all the references from the memory locations and post them up, you should be able to see which ones look right.

It should be supported,as long as it can actually communicate then it should be able to do it. Can you read the memory locations ok?

Excellent news!! :D I'm glad you got it sorted in the end, it is a bit worrying to start with but by the time you've done it you wonder what all the fuss was about!
