The best, most compatible handheld for 1G/2G logging and even DSMLink is the Palm IIIc
you can find them on ebay for dirt cheap. i picked up mine like new almost 2 years ago for $100
then get a serial modem cable from syncablesolutions.com for $20 and you are all set
well, that and getting a proper ALDL cable (1G) or ODBII cable (2G) .. i think i have an OBDII cable around if you want to buy it

Whoa, thats not a bad deal. I thought I would have to end up spending $400 on a Datalogger. How does that set-up work for you? I'm still trying to get as many opinions as I can before I start spending.
Oh yeah...what is that ALDL cable you're talking about. I'm guessing it has the word DataLogging in there somewhere, right?

the aldl cable is what connects to the diagnostic connector of your 1G. i checked on ebay, palm IIIc's are going for like $50. Go to pocketlogger.com and buy their "DSM Pocketlogger" cable and software package for $125, and you're good to go.
Alternatively, you can buy a DSM/ALDL logger cable off ebay for really cheap and use the MMCD software, which is free.
Aside from the ALDL/DSM logger cable and software though, yes, all you need is the Palm IIIc and a modem cable from syncablesolutions.com
