Hi Bob-
This may not be what you want to hear, but I strongly suggest you go with the
official Mydata upgrade.  This way you know it will work and Mydata will
warranty the machine.
My clients have had the best luck when they purchase used equipment directly
from the manufacturer.  Universal, Fuji, MPM, DEK, Siemens, Philips, Mydata
and others take equipment on trade-in and refurb to spec.  Purchasing one of
these units is the best way to go and usually worth the money.  If you do buy
from a used equipment broker or from a "yard sale" caveat emptor. I suggest
you contact the equipment manufacturer for upgrades, calibration and
maintenance.   In fact, contact the equipment manufacturer before you
purchase it to be sure they will even make upgrades available and for what
price.  That possible bargain may not shine as brightly after all.
