Re: Snap On Scan Tool

["Programmer" <nwester@eidnet.org>]

I don't know guys--something is goofy here. I've got the old Mt2500,
non backlit, and I've got OBD2 stuff I do all the time. I've got the 99
cartridge coming this month, too--and have been using the 98 since it came
out.

I do know that the boards that the chips came with in 1997 (or was it '96?
Could have even been earlier) were different--we changed boards and chips. I
still have the old cases and ALDL connectors that changed with the
upgrade--which was included at no additional cost.
