FMTV computer diag

Finally works. Had to get the computer one place, batts another and charger yet another. Have the basic Miltope O/S (which will only properly install on the Miltope laptop), different usb and serial interfaces with various connectors from ICE kits I have bought over the years. Can plug into the mil interface for basic diagnostics.

Couple hundred. Took about a year to compile everything. Miltope software auto installed on the miltope laptop. It didnt like a basic Dell. It came up with an error box that said this is not a Miltope laptop. I have not tried the manuals disc on anything else.

Can you help me find the stuff needed?

I have an extra charger and can order the batts. You need to find a good working miltope laptop with hard drive caddy. It will take a regular laptop drive but the caddy seems to be miltope specific. The newer the better. A lot of them look the same. The one I am using is 2009 I believe. I have seen a lot of 2004-2005 units. If you can put together the hardware and send me the laptop I will load the software.
