Default Help for T4 TestBook

Hi all,

sorry for bothering, but I hope some of you might be able to help.

I'm Ralf from Germany and I'm an enthusiastic hobbyist re British cars. I own two Minis and an old Lotus Elise with the famous Rover 1.8 non VVC K-Series.

I was able to fix a broken T4 and installed RDS 5.06 on an old Dell XT2

However, I was wondering if there's a more recent RDS I could use. I tested an original Panasonic Toughbook Install with RDS 7 from a colleague, however this computer wasn't able to read my legacy T4 CDs I' using with my Dell and RDS 5.06 ... so something must be wrong.

Hope you have some advice!

BR
Ralf

Welcome to the forum Ralf. Don't worry about bothering us because that's what this forum is for.
There are several T4 experts here as members and I'm sure one of them will see your post very soon.---

RDS 5.06 is the most up to date version. Later RDS versions are meant for Landrover, however the later versions can work with a bit of manipulation, but TBH I have never tried it.
