I may be able to acomodate. What price range & what's it to be used for. I've got some Compaq M300's that I'd let go cheap. Small screens, but I love them for scanning car's computers & on the road GPS.

I could always use spare laptops to do what ever with.

This is what I use:

It connects to the cars computer like a mechanic does. It's not as extensive as their machines are, but it is much more thorough than the hand held deals. A must for working on newer cars IMO.

It is the one I have. Works fine. The bigger issue is getting the right software to run it. There are a bunch of companies that make use of it though (including elm).

I have one, but I wouldn't inflict that POS on anyone. I don't think I good even give it away with a good conscience :lol

Even a 386 can scan codes.
