I am getting a laptop and i was gonna download some scanning, diagnostics, etc. software on it because i hear there are tons of programs you can get for free (At least trials)

I was wondering A. what are the names of these programs

and B. Where can I get a cable that goes OBD II to USB?

Its a 95 so its OBD 1 but you need a OBD 2 style connector

 

I bought a cable on Ebay and paid $75 and it came with a free disk with 10 or so free software programs.

 

I'm not aware of "tons" of programs, but try these:

Scanning software for your OBD-I 1995:

TTS DataMaster (free download, 20 free uses):

FreeScan (free):

pcmcomm (bundled with LT1_Edit software):

EFILive V4:

Cable available from:

Be sure to specify the 95 cable, to get the correct connector and the correct pin assignments.
