Default ross-tech

I seem to hear that having ross-tech equipment is essential when owning an A8. What do I need to get, what is the best set-up for a 1999 A8? Do I need any special software or code Bible?
Thank you
Tomas

Default Apple of my eye question

What cheap PC laptop can I buy to run Ross-Tech? My Apple Intel core 2 duo does not likey MS software even with a PC immulation program. Or, is there better software to run ross-tech on a Apple Duo2 laptop?

So here's what you do . . .

I have a Macbook and was running into the same issue, using Parallels.

So it works great if you use Bootcamp and boot into Windows, then run Ross-Tech. Get BootCamp running, throw XP on there, and done.

Oila!

VMware Fusion is what I use on the MacBook Pro crap I got from the office. Last resort: use BootCamp and start WinXP in a separate partition.
