Title: ETKA 7.2v5
Post by: Buck on 10 March 2011, 00:15

After not succeeding in sourcing a copy of ETKA, I've just managed to buy this for the tidy sum of £1.04 on eBay +99p for postage so happy with that one!  :cool:

So you haven't had it yet Adrian? Yes you can get it of eBay (http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=etka+7.2&_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1%257C72%253A4902&rt=nc&_dmpt=UK_CarParts_Vehicles_Manuals_Litterature_ET&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_sop=2&_sc=1). We will have to see if this version works won't we?

No. No joy with my last attempt. Fingers crossed for this one.

If you need a hand, I can probably give you some pointers. I'm running it on VMWare on a Mac Book Pro and am having to run a Windows XP emulator in a Windows 7 Professional environment. So, an emulator in an emulator. Why they can't revise the code base to make it run on a reasonably modern machine is just annoying.

ETKA uses an Emulator for Hardlock I don't think its the same as what your talking about. ETKA 7.2 doesn't run on Windows 64bit systems.

Would it not be easier to run a dual boot of xp and mac osx using boot camp, thats what i did for my ford dreamscience software, you can spec a dual boot partition from as little as 5GB which isnt much at all really.

Booting into xp then is just a case of resetting the mac and holding the option key to select which os you want to boot to.

You can't easily download ETKA 7.3.

I see that some fool is trying to sell ETKA 7.2v5 2010 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ETKA-7-2v5-2010-EPC-Volkswagen-Audi-Seat-Skoda-/320669589991?pt=UK_CarParts_Vehicles_Manuals_Litterature_ET&hash=item4aa965a1e7) for £10,000,000  :grin:
