Anyone have great success or problems running certain MOtorsport software on win7? I have a win xp laptop that needs replacing. Some software if I recall struggled on win 7 or maybe it was win 8.
In particular. Bosch modas for connecting to the cup car Ecus. Maybe aim? Smarty manager?

I think AiM had some trouble with Windows 8 early on, but no trouble now.

modas doesn't work on windows 7, or they have fixed it now. I have to use an xp computer to get it working

Same here. I have somewhat "hacked" the config files to get them to work on a release of Modas sport that Works on Win7, but it misses some of the functions of the original. Not very satisfying and going to reinstall an old laptop on xp to have a fully functional one... (and I am supposed to have been a computer engineer... :-\)

In fact, that is the config, macros and Work pages that are interesting, but not so trivial to put in a "standard" Bosch Modas. Their computing logic isn't what IT guys are user to...

Modas for Cup Cars runs on my Win 7 Professional version

I have no trouble with Windows 7 and the MSA cables..
Haven't been able to get a parallel printer adapter to work ever for the KIC cables..... much easier just to go with MSA cable. I have a KIC cable available if anyone needs it.. there are some 996 functions that can only be done with the KIC cable etc..

**the other qwerky one ill ask about. is anyone running an ADL3 on a windows XP machine, or better stated, does IPV6 run nicely on XP? thats really where my failing is. my XP laptop was champ of champs wtih ADL2 cup cars. but now with the ADl3 in the RSR, you need to have IPV6 looks over ethernet. and there, well, my XP box shi t the bed.

I used it recently on an 07 and 09, both worked fine, but you need different config files. Maybe that is your issue

Sorry, But this sold in 10 minutes.....

My supplier has one more in stock and can not get more for a couple months. If someone else wants one, I'll get it from them.

I have a brand new Modas MSA II box/cable. I'll sell it for $1350 shipped within US.

The Modas USB driver is here http://www.bosch-motorsport.de/conte.../html/3589.htm

PMNA gave me the software and some config files while at Sebring a couple years ago. Not sure if it is free from them today. I have some config files I can send but not sure the main file is reusable from what I have.

Recently the laptop that I use with Modas hard drive failed. Since I have the old cable it was easier for me to ghost over the Modas program and XP onto a new laptop drive.
One of the local computer repair stores aslo had a nice laptop with the required printer port and XP for $200 just in case the above did not work.
