Title: Cardisc
Post by: Sheldon McIntosh on September 09, 2008, 10:51:42 PM
Does anyone have any experience with the 'Cardisc' CD-ROMs?  http://www.cardisc.com/alfa_romeo.htm (http://www.cardisc.com/alfa_romeo.htm)    And do they work with XP and/or Vista (I've heard rumours they don't easily)

More specifically, does anyone have the GTV6 and/or Alfa 90 versions that I could borrow for a couple of days (I have a photographic memory) in exchange for a beer or two at club night?

hey sheldon, i have one (but guess what its not for a gtv6 or an alfa 90 ;)).  works on windows 2000, didn't work on xp but downloaded a viewer for it and now works fine, can't comment on vista as i like to actually use my computer rather than make it look cool.  but the one i've got has some cool stuff on it like a complete autodelta catalogue of 105 GTA parts

So cynical for one so young.  Can't wait till you see my classy genuine-fake-carbon-fibre accessories on the GTV6.  Cardisc doesn't have info on neons or HIDs then?

Bought one recently for the Spider, and was less than impressed. It ran OK on my XP laptop, but many of the parts manual pages (which were scanned in) seemed to be overlapped with adjacent pages, so that not all pages were readable. No doubt, there is loads of info on there, it's just not very nicely formatted...
