The Radioshack brand is the one I have. It seems to work with all the standalone stuff I work with except for the Haltech ECU series.

Make sure you download the software. For some reason I had to use the disk twice with the EMS but after the second time it works just fine.

IOGEAR works everytime, and is what AEM will tell you to use if you "know" somebody there.

You guys that are having problems with your cables: Are you downloading and installing the drivers for them? I don't care if your compy recognizes them or not, try downloading the drivers. It's made a difference on lots of cables, or so I've read.
