You need Delta Dash. It's a bit of software from EcuTek that includes all the cables and hardware you need. Vishnu sells it for $330 on the website. As long as your computer has a serial port, it will work.

The input cable from the OBDII port goes into your serial port. There is also a 'key' which can be USB, PCMCIA, or parallel.

Mario, the one on the back of your computer has to be female (unlike the picture I posted) in order for the DD to hook up. I just checked. The DD cable has male.

If your port looks like the one in the pic, but is female, then yeah.

Hey, any word on the exhaust? Is it gonna be this weekend?
