Best scanner for the money?

I want to scan my car and see what's going on and eventually get into chip burning. I have used the LS1m scantool but understand that they are obd2, and these cars are obd1. So what is a good scanner for these cars? Any around $100?

Your best bet is to get a cheap laptop, and buy the cables (or make your own cable). The software is free.

Where do I get the software? Also where do I get the device to burn the chips and the stock programs to modify?
