Unfortunately no. I use a "diacom" setup for my pre 96 vars.
It requires an older laptop. And they are becoming rare.

This DynoScan A-302 unit works with ODB II only.

Generally this thing is working up to my expectations. It's manual and other literature is filled with errors (grammar and spelling) and the installation is not as trivial as one would think but worth it. I am getting more data than I know how to interpret. AND there is an add on feature to get data from other systems (so called enhanced data) in the car such as antilock brakes, air bags, security, cabin temp controls, Onstar, and a slew of others.
What they lack is a library of data from cars that are working ok. This could serve as a baseline for comparison in diagnosing issues.

Thanks -- I'll check out the Diacom. I can run DOS on my Mac

I don't think that will work. As I recall the software uses code delays to get the right timing to get the data. That's why faster machines will not work. Also it requires Window (old version I think 98) I have an old IBM thinkpad I have dedicated to this.
