Hi Folks,

Also can anyone tell me if it will work on the 260 and V8 operating systems?

Cheers

When you say T4 laptop, is it a T4 unit, or a laptop with the RDS software on it? You should have both, a laptop with the RDS software on it and the T4 box of tricks. The leads are available from Omitec, but I suppose you could make one theres only a few connections, just depends if there is any gubbings along the way, I've never disassembled mine to look.

Edit. Yes it will work on the V8 fine. Use DST0006V or DST0005V discs as the cars are all on the one disc. There maybe some earlier ones but I started at DST0005V. The really early discs are all seperate for each car type.

Hi Jamie. If you are still in the Crewe area, I might be able to help with some advice, and maybe even some bits. I'm still working there until the end of November, so if you want to compare notes let me know, as I've a T4 myself now. One thing I don't have is a spare red lead for the 75, although I did make a substitue that worked OK.
