I'm sure that it will handle Craig's software, though I haven't tried yet - still waiting to get my cable together.

As for Diacom, yes it will. I ran Diacom on a 486/25 or 33 laptop just fine.

Blown, they are DIRT CHEAP at any place that deals in used computers. Check your local newspapers also. I picked up a 486/133 mhz notebook for C$25.00. They are basically useless now to anyone except guys like us.

The nice thing about the 486/133 is that it actually has Windows 95, so it can run TunerCat also.

Yeah baby YEAH! Beats the hell out of buying a scanner IMHO. I know I just never get time to browse the puter stores. I want a 66mhz or faster with 16meg for the Win 98 ya know. These things are long in the tooth for most programs, except Tunercat,DOS & QBasic

Funny you say that I couldnt even get diacom to run on my computer because it was too fast. Tried it on my 600mhz then my friends 90mhz and finally on this 25 mhz piece o crap that i bought two broken ones for $50 and made a frankenlaptop. And that is the only computer i got it to work on.
But i got diacom and two laptops off of ebay for a grand total of $250 not too shabby huh.
