I have Diacom test adaptor cables, about four of them. I need the latest Diacom software to test them out.

You're kidding me, right? How hard do you think it is to copy software? Even if you rent it from TPIS for $60 and copy it.

No I'm NOT kidding. The cables are useless without the software. I didn't say anything about how hard it is to copy or even rent it just to copy.

You do have a good idea about renting it though, I didn't know they do that.

Does anyone know the latest version??

Point being is that it doesnt matter whether or not you have the software. The Diacom is a 2 part system. 1)The software 2) the cable, or as some people say, the little black box. ANYONE can get the software. The cables are the key. If you dont need all 4, dont turn down a potential customer just because they say they dont have the software. Unless you are allergic to money.

With that tone of voice I doubt you'll get anyone to just "share" the Diacom software with you. I have Diacom too and would love to help somebody out that doesnt exactly wants to pay 400 dollars for ****ing piece of software, but hey... learn how to ask nicely first.

Blade if your so inclined I would love to have a copy of Diacom,I've been working with WinBin but I don't have a good diagnostic program. I can build the cables (ele eng) at work but I really dont have $400 bucks for the software. Any help would be great! Thanks Bob.

Sorry, I thought I WAS asking nicely. Also I never said I had real cables, they were TEST cables and I needed to check them out. How could I sell something if it isn't tested yet?
Oh, they will be a cheap price if they work!

Omar,
Sorry if I came off the wrong way, I was just answering questions literally. I almost thought you were getting smart with me.

The cables need tested first, if they work I will sell them a little above cost.

I sure hope they do, I need to get an "A" for this educational project!
