anyone have any experience with a code reader or scanner on 993s?  It seems
like I should have one of these in my toolkit, now that they cost under
$100, but there are certainly a wide variety - I haven't found a useful
review that mentions Porsche yet, though I'm still looking.

I thought the Bosch "Hammer" to be too costly even if you could find one.

How much does this one cost, Bill?

I've asked their sales dept.  Meanwhile, here are some others, but I would
really like to hear from someone who knows something about them:

http://www.autotap.com/autotap_windows_products.html  $200
http://www.obddiagnostics.com/  $38 to $99
Alex Peper's CarCode at http://www.obd-2.com

there is a bunch of tools talked about here
http://www.akmcables.com/obdii.htm

http://www.scantool.net/products/elmscan_iso.htm for $80 (this SHOULD be the
right one for Porsche)

there's a PCA article here
http://lpr.pca.org/events/2003/062103-TechSession3/article.htm but it
doesn't mention specific tools

codes are listed here http://www.troublecodes.net/OBD2/

http://www.troublecodes.net/articles/equus/Equuis_OBD_II_code_reader.shtml -
there were a bunch of these on E-bay for $107

There's another list of scan tools here
http://www.troublecodes.net/technical/scaninfo.shtml

so many choices, so little data.....

:-(
