using the laptop IS A SCAN TOOL they plug into 16 pin 94-95 pcm'* and any other GM OBD1 pcm , for only 40-50 bucks and you can view live data and record it during a run. I dont know i think id rather have that instead of the exspensive alternative that does the same or less

The limited software choices and poor performance of them is another reason why laptop scanning for OBD1 isn't a viable option (not to mention the laptop problem for most).
I've researched the laptop based scanners, and they're just not practical until you get into OBD2.

I have a laptop. I have two OBD1 L67'*, one of them is the hybrid PCM.
I have a performance chip in the other.
I'm not an idiot. I fully researched all the options out there. The only one that seemed worthwhile to replace my CP9110 was almost $600 bucks. None of the other software interfaces had any advantages over my scantool.
I don't recall saying it was 'bad' so please don't try to twist my words. I said 'impractical'.

They don't offer anything the CP9110 doesn't already offer. And you don't need a laptop. So why would I want to mess with my laptop when I can plug in and go?
