I'm currently running Durametric software Version 3.0.15 January 9th 2007 (as I only have Windows ME on my spare laptop - don't ask).
Can run upto ver 5 on Windows XP onwards (download for free from www.durametric.com).
Seems fine for fault reading, radio code, engine hours, over revs, all the engine parameters - like oil/water temps etc which can be charted immediately or data log file dumped to Excel readable .CSV
Here is a page from my old 996:
And data logging (which was the main use):
Note: only ver 6.0.3.2 onwards can code cruise control etc (which these clone cables can't run as Durametric improved the cable security encryption etc)
EDITTED: to add back an image hosting that had gone AWOL
