Thread: Any Consult Reading software for Linux?

Just wondering if there is anything out there for linux?
Or has any one run Datascan on linux using a Windows emulator.

Ive not had any luck on the linux side. tried running some of it in wine to no luck. best bet would be to try a VM type of setup ...that is if you can read usb/serial ports from a vm...never tried at all.

closest thing is conzultan for mac. since mac is bsd that would be the closest but the UI calls are vastly different.

by vm you mean virtual machine. Correct?

just get windows vista

that has nothing to do with his request...

i would suggest virtualbox for a linux based VM. i've used that on both the windows side and linux side and works great! and yes, you can def enable USB for use in the VM.

good luck and please post up what you decide to go with.

it was just a joke jeeze... sry.

yeah i know.. i wish. If i knew the Data protocalls of our ecu i could write something up for use on linux.

THis has to be the joke of the year!

Good, we have a volunteer!!!!
