Well, I finally decided to get this thing hooked up.
I already got the laptop, ALDL cable, and the WinALDL software.
The only problem is the laptop doesn't have a serial port, so I ordered a USB to Serial adapter for $4.99 off of ebay.
Yep, finally gonna hook it up 88delta88 
Can't wait to see what it shows... 
I was bidding on an Itronix laptop on ebay for $30 that had a serial port, and was a color touchscreen. They also are extremely rugged (military), check em out, they are the Hummers of laptops. Anyways, the last three seconds I was WINNING, then some (excuse my language) fag came and bid on it! That really pissed me off..... 
Oh well...guess I'll make with what I got, but the touchscreen would have been nice....

How is the screen on that toshiba? is it an active TFT or an STN? Sounds like a nice little ALDL donor...
