Mike, press enter instead of providing a VIN at the WDB prompt then select your car from the list. That works for me to get 300D 2.5 info.
Ron, it worked fine for me without emulator software and only disc 2 on the hard drive. It might fly with everything on the hard drive but I've never had it that way. Running with 2 CDs there is a lag when the CDs spin up after selecting a section or part call-out. The 91 300SE I sold was even less responsive
