Is this catalog available for pre 1990s cars too?

Pre 1990? At least our Euro EPC shows cars from before 1950, like 136, 180 or 186. Which model are you mainly after?

Ditto for MBUSA EPC.

...on CD or DVD on eBay for about $20?

I note that that CD/DVD also will not run with Vista.

Along a similar line.
I've purchased a "Star Service Service Manual Library."
When it arrived it demands MS Windows.
I'm strictly a Linux user and have tried several different emulators (Wine, VirtualBox) without success to get this disc to run.
Any linux users that have tried this and succeeded?
Thanks

I'm curious - what should I expect after the 365 day subscription expires?

Useless Windows OS in a world of Unix/Linux.

I don't get it, aren't StarScan diagnostics Linux or BSD? I thought Daimler used Linux?

Even Apple is BSD Unix based.

Damn Microsoft. Aarrgh.

Star is Windows based. Did Linux seriously exist at the time the first Star diagnosis tools were taken into use? Anyway, doesn't the US EPC run on Java too, should be just a question of adapting the browser and Java support on a Linux platform?

Apparently Mercedes uses Microsoft proprietary. I remember Daimler Chrysler being sued by SCO, and so maybe Mercedes used Linux, too. e.g., the portable StarScan tool for Chrysler from Brightstar.

Thanks so much. I am thinking about subscribing. Is there any pricing info?

Any kindly Americans willing to share their user name / password with a Canadian who doesn't hold a US credit card (needed for site access)? Promise not to abuse it.

It works fine on an intel mac with XP using Bootcamp or just VMware Fusion.
