I've been eyeing some cheaper clones online, I see comments that the ~$200 micropod clone doesn't fully support the DRBIII emulation, but that the ~$600 witech clone does.

I'm looking to pickup one and test the features compared to the DRBIII, and either setup a virtual machine or an older laptop to make a Kit.

If we can get reliable hardware together I would like to pack it into a Pelican case that can be shipped around as needing among our members to use it for DRBIII specific tasks. I'm not willing to risk a DRBIII, but a cheaper clone would be reasonable to risk.

Yup I've seen those services, I'm not really looking to make a business out of this, I'm looking for a way for the community to help the community, and I'm willing to front some of the work to make it happen.

I bought a witech micropod 2 clone. Only used it for TPMS. I know you've already read my thread sir Sam, but others can find it here:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=87549

I bought mine on AliExpress. PM me if you want the link to where I purchased it.

I bought:

Didn't work even with ebbnflow's hard drive image.

Should take this one off of your list of possibles.
Nice doing business with them though; returned my money.
