The seller acquired the laptop and discs “after a garage liquidation”.
They state that NO CABLES are included – “correct cables will need to be sourced before this can be used”, But there is no Omitec control box (the brains of the operation) - may not be aware that this unit is essential.

Omitec was acquired by Continental, and I was politely informed that they no longer support our T4 units. It won't be easy to find one.

Best option is probably Phil-T4’s virtual T4 units.
That's a crafty move, basically they are selling a laptop, the discs are copies and not the originals.
