I have used ACCEL / Tango PCB. I like the software, however the support stinks! My software will not run on newer pentium because of the hardware KEY and ACCEL has given me the run around. So at this point I would suggest stay away from ACCEL / TANGO until they value to support their customers. God knows you have to pay an arm and leg for the software; one would expect them to support it so as not to have to re-purchase it every several years.
