As a matter of fact, my pc is currently residing on my garage workbench, with
an rs232 cable running accross the floor and into my truck.  I've got an Electromotive programmable ignition system (they also make an injection system).  
I'll be using a laptop soon, just waiting for central purchasing to cut a check :(.
 All of the programmable ECM's I've seen have an rs-232 port and are intended
to be used with a pc-compatible laptop.
