What happened to TOAF? I haven't heard anything lately and my link is now dead.

I was looking on 'tother site about it. Thread was from the beginning of this year and people were starting to get suspicious about TOAF, I only hope those who made a donation weren't the victims of a clever con.

I personally thought it looked bogus and all that to create a device which does the same thing as T4, but for cheaper, the amount of work to bring something like that to production would have cost the earth to sort out and you don't think they would have wanted to have some of that money back? Something certainly just plain sounded fishy to me!

It hasn't been updated since January, and looking on the dark side it appears that some people have been donating to it as well

I do agree with you, but I have to point out that the VT4 is available and it does just that, OK it does cost money but it isn't expensive. (and it IS very very good)

VT4 was developed by a person which knew quite a lot about the insides and outs of T4, the TOAF people on the other hand I'm not to sure about! But £100 to plug any laptop into your car is a good deal as most software I own costs up in the region of much more than that and thats just for diagnostics of my studio equipment.

The word on the other site is that a release is to be soon after some bug fixes.

Maybe time to pay your subs then since your promoting it.
Personally for me I'd go down the VT4 route.
