Author Message   Aaomy Posted on Tuesday, May 10, 2005 - 11:05 am:        i run a programmable ignition on my buell and after this winters mods the program is way to advanced for this set up. the lap top only needs windows 95,or newer, and to have a 9 pin serial port.   Blackbelt Posted on Tuesday, May 10, 2005 - 11:10 am:        let me check and see what i have.. I know i have an old IBM, pritty sure it is 95 or 98. but the pin is the question.. Let me check tonight.   Aaomy Posted on Tuesday, May 10, 2005 - 07:11 pm:        thanks black belt, greatly appreciate any help i can get..   Koz5150 Posted on Tuesday, May 10, 2005 - 10:19 pm:        I have a IBM thinkpad (win 95) complete with original restore disks. The hard drive is 100% clean. I can check tomorrow for the 9 pin port (I am at work till 7:30 am CST).   Reepicheep Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2005 - 08:48 am:        If it's a think pad, it more then likely has the 9 pin serial port, especially a machine from that era. If you have trouble getting windows on it (i.e. no CDRom or no working CDRom) ping me offline, I have some cool alternate approaches. It might be a non standard UART driving the serial port though, if you get it and windows has problems recognizing the port, you may need to hunt up a bios utility to tell the IBM uart to play dumb and act like a legacy serial port.   Blackbelt Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2005 - 12:50 pm:        I have it... did ya want it? cause it is yours if ya do.   Scitz Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2005 - 02:16 pm:        I would say to go with an IBM or Toshiba laptop. As a computer tech i have found these to be better quaility and last longer than most other brands.   Blackbelt Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2005 - 03:05 pm:        It is an old IBM thinkpad.. should work.   Aaomy Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2005 - 03:56 pm:        sweet black belt.. will send you a pm..
