I have had success this arvo replacing IC's on the dongles so they support Windows 10.

Need hands of steel and 100x magnified vision but it did work and tested on Windows 10 100%. I have only blown one up so far but in reality need to minimise it to zero.

I have low qty's of dongles and replacement IC's left at the moment, so can I see a raise of hands on who wants one as I may need to do another order.

Well done mate! I have an earlier one and have seen the size of the chip and those tiiiiiiiiny connections. Wow!

Mine doesn't run on Win10 but I have an old EeePC running Win XP somewhere in the cupboard... might break it out and see if it works on that one day. :?

Hi Stewart - I'll take a Win10 dongle too!

How do we specify windows version when ordering? Or are they all Win10 compatible from now on?

I will be adding a new item for the Win10 compatible item. I'm playing with stock qtys at the second as I'm waiting on another shipment.

I will be able to fullfill the current WIN10 versions to the 3 that want them on this page and will advise once I have the product posted up.

Thanks mate, new to the forum and trying to find out what I can do with the FORScan, haven’t got full access so can’t read all the forums yet.

I used to work at the Codan factory, soldering under stereo microscope. Been a few years now though! I'm interested in the Win10 dongle, but I don't even know what it does yet or why I would need it, so I will wait and see :)
