I have been looking around also as I am struggling with my '88. I think that is the lowest cost solution, but still out of the range of what I want to spend right now. So I am just going through to process in the WSM. Which is slow, and frustrating, but cheap. I think that, in the end, most folks find the diagnostic tools don't tell you enough to make it worth the cost and effort.

Wow! If it only worked for those of us that are 100% apple homes. Makes me want to buy a cheap PC or install windows on one of the newer Apple computers!

Thanks Mark!
