I suggest that he 'should' post his products in 'The Mall' or least a link to his site...

I believe he’s making a new one right now.

I found the eBay links AND updated "Current PFF Fiero Vendors" in General Fiero Chat

Romsk's Fiero ALDL Monitor Tool

Was just going say that he sells them on eBay now.

His main webpage has the eBay link: https://www.paul.romsky.com..._gt_aldl_monitor.htm

All,

Thanks for posting info about my products and website. I have to figure out how to list items on the mall.

I sold my first ALDL Tool Suite on Ebay yesterday... I am on my way.

I had to call Elon Musk today and ask for his shoe size... you see, I like to keep my bee-oches in heels [laugh].

Would this work on an LT1 ODB1 port too?

OBD 1 ECM's used 2 different connectors for scanners and used a couple of different interface codes .From what I have found not all OBD 1 scanners are universal. I doubt if the ALDL scanner sold by Romsk would work for a Corvette or even the Cadillac 4.9L engine, For those we use the Actron 3 scanner.

I have been asked if I can support 1980's Corvettes. I am sorry, but I originally supported only the 1986 to 1988 V6 Fieros, I added the 1985 V6 on request, and just recently added the 1985 to 1986 L4 Fieros on another request. The 1984 L4 will be next, and finally the 1987 to 1988 L4 Fiero that use 8192 Baud (not going to be fun integrating that protocol in my GUI).

After that, I don't have the energy to support any more GM vehicles. Sorry. Its a lot of reverse engineering. Some of you suggested that I use TunerPro's configuration files (whatever they call them) to determine the data streams for each ECM, and I appreciate the advice. But the use of an effective "competitor's" tool to develop my own just does not hold up to my business ethics.

I have put a lot of effort into the GUI over that last decade (I started it just as a fun project), I am not going to hand over or sell the source code to anyone. It was written in ANSI C using National Instruments LabWindows/CVI V13.0, so not many coders use that IDE or code in pure C anymore.

Romsk SEP 26, 11:38 AM
BTW... why coded in ANSI C?

C Code is just one step above assembly. It doesn't have the fancy features of C++ or the managed code that C# offers. But I write my code in way that approaches C++ and I have adopted techniques that self manages the code to prevent virtually any crashing.

Because of this, nothing happens like "clean up" or needless array checking behind the scenes like in C++ and C#, so I get the best performance out of the GUI - its just more adhering to certain coding styles, and thus "more explicit" coding ... which is becoming a lost art. And AI can't do everything... yet.
