What to buy????
I want to purchase the vag-com for my 05 A6 4.2 but I also want to use it on my Daughters 02 Passat. Will my old laptop work running windows 98?

For Windows 98, you should buy a serial interface
For your '05 A6, you will need a CAN style interface. For the '02 Passat, any of interfaces but the MicroCAN would be appropriate. So, to cover both vehicles, I would recommend the HEX-COM+CAN and you can find on the Ross-Tech website at the link below.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ross-tech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=VCHCC&am p;Category_Code=VAGCOM">http://www.ross-tech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=VCHCC&am p;Category_Code=VAGCOM</a</li></ul>

I'm glad USB works for your setup
but the facts are that some machines running Win98 will have problems running a USB connection and for that reason we recommend that Win98 users purchase a serial interface.
