Ah, fellow Mac user; I feel you pain and bewilderment with trying to understand where Windows puts things. Mind you, os10 (Unix) isn't that much better IMO! So, if I install TOAF, it will install the UBS serial driver automatically, provided I have it in the same directory? Or will it call it when I first try connecting? Thanks

It didn’t work at first and I found some other drivers on-line after a search for VW KKL, sorry can’t remember where. Basically it’s just the programme and the drivers to install, all the other files like SRS tool are extras.
I never tried configuring the drivers, wouldn’t know how and it’s hard enough finding where Windows hides stuff. Same with port settings, I just let the programme connect to whichever USB port it wanted. Sometime later I switched to an old serial Ediabas RS232 cable which I’d used for the Remote T4 project. I still use the serial cable as it seems more reliable than the USB type.
Sadly the Poles retreated into isolationist mode after their welcome on here. Shame, as I’ve heard they had Toaf workshops and there was even talk of an Android version which I would have loved in my Xtrons.

Good luck
