I'll take the other one Pete.  It's about time I retired my ancient laptop with a serial port that I just keep to use with my rs232 vagcom lead.

Do you know if these work OK with vwtool.exe?

no it's just diagnostics, read fault codes & read sensor values.  I just find it works better with g40 digifant the vagcom itself.  It's nothing to do with mapping.  You need much more expensive kit for that, eprom emulators and expensive mapping software etc...
