Well I downloaded the software from the aem website to try on my laptop to ensure it was up to spec... so i am sure you can do the same and see if it works or not...

I believe you can download the software from the AEM website. Try installing it and see what happens.
BTW...the EMS currently uses an old style RS-232 com port...you'll need to get a com-to-usb connector. You can get one on eBay for a couple bucks.

It's not a bad thing to be able to pull driving data since the EMS will not give you OBD codes if something is wrong.

You can learn a fair bit if you read up some books etc. Also AEM are bringing out their own dvd using their own software for a good tutorial to tuning. It is usually best to get a tuner to get a good base map then you can adjust from there if you know what you are doing...
Read through the AEM forum is a good one too.... but one of the best classes is the 101tuning place... they do an intensive class discussion thing and another day is a full s2000 specific tuning class, starting from scratch and making a base map and tuning...
