UPDATE:
EvoScan Supported Hardware:
1) I will be putting up a cable for sale that is FT232BM USB cable for the EvoScan datalogger. ($65US) (for Evo7/8/9 I would recommend the OpenPort cable below as it supports EcuFlash factory ecu tuning)
2) OpenPort cable 1.3M uses a built in FTDI FT232BM USB-Serial adapter.

- advantage of this cable is that it supports ecuflash only for Evo7/8/9
3) HomeMade for Electronics minded people: beware not many OBDII cables support 15625baudrate.
What you can do is buy a FT232BM($20US+) based usb-serial adapter because this chipset supports any baudrate you like, the PC standard comport cant physically support 15625bps, with the usb adapter then convert the serial adapter voltage levels to obdII levels +0v/+12v using a optoisolater circuit like Andy Whittakers or Jeff Noxon, or use a MAX232 chipset circuit like MMCd.($20US)
EvoScan Registration:
1) EvoScan Registration will be $15US ($20NZ)
- this will allow me to purchase expensive third party charting and gauge controls to make this the best looking and best functioning datalogger around.
- with registration you will get unlimited future releases.
- if you want a new feature added, this will be added for you with priority.
- you will get emailed latest updates released every week.
- you get access to the source code (personal use only).
- Using this datalogger will allow you to successfully see what your car is doing before and after you use tools such as EcuFlash or Aftermarket Controllers such as SAFC-II to tune your car. And you can save and send your results to your openecu buddies to oggle over, and others with EvoScan can even play back your results without being plugged into a car.
- Using the alerting features of EvoScan could alert you to a bad tune or bad fuel, i.e Detonation Knock Counts, Temperatures, A/F ratios and we all know what happens to an engine under extreme detonation or extreme lean conditions.
Supported Vehicles:
1) Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV/V/VI/VII/VIII/IX (Any serial obdII adapter that will support 15625baudrate)
3) Other miscellaneous 1996+ Mitsubishi OBDII Vehicles (support to follow as people test it on their cars - I'm expecting a lot of these vehicles to already work with this software)
3) Subaru SSM protocol support to follow (Any serial obdII adapter that will support 4800baudrate)
4) Nissan vehicle (I have a lot of Nissan protocol information - support to follow)
