Left the market to focus on family. A company called BoostedNW is now selling stuff like what they used to sell, including a replacement for the Ostrich. They're where I got the MEMCAL adapter for my '90.

Does a datalog device exist that converts an ALDL plug to thumb drive? Driving around with a cord stretched across to a laptop in the passenger seat is kind of a PITA.
It exists as a DIY device: http://www.pfautsch.com/?page_id=1486

Yeah,uh,no. Looks like a cluster f*ckOriginally Posted by NomakeWan
Years ago in dealer land you would grab the GM supplied tape recorder and special cable and drive around recording ALDL data. It would seem like a modern version which can write to a thumb drive is possible.
Sometimes it's tough to identify a particular incident with this type of recording. Lets say your vehicle was behaving well, except for that one time you accelerated to get out into traffic quickly. If you're not able to note the time or some other identifying feature, how do you know where to go to in the recorded data to see what happened? I would think combining ALDL adapter and Bluetooth would be the way to go. The laptop can be configured to display a "histograph" of data assisting with visual recognition of an incident when it happens, and it records timestamps to help reference events.

The software (tuner pro RT, etc) is what does the recording, hence needing the cable connected to pc and datalogging/recording while driving
Now a bluetooth one is a possibility now days, but that still doesn't eliminate the laptop

Yeah,I'll deal with it. It's not that bad. I run the cable up over the steering column so it's not under my feet. If for some reason I'm ever doing any rewiring behind the dash I'll move the ALDL over to the right side.
