Datalogging on 85 TPI

Hey guys I was wondering, since 85 was such a unique year for TPI how many of you on here who have datalogged an 85 TPI have had to use a resistor on the A and B pins of the ALDL port to get your ECM to send data (Causes car to have high idle and disables knock retard, not exactly useful for tuning).

I know the serial cable diagram stated "most" ECM's do not require this resistor. So I was wondering if all 85 ECM's were like this or if I just got an oddball one.

Mine definitely needs the resistor (85 Z28).
