'97-99 models are also susceptible, at a lower rate.
I wouldn't buy any 986 or early 987 unless it came with documentation that the bearing has been upgraded (or the engine replaced.)
Well they're all susceptible. There's no statistics (that I've seen), detailing the failure rates and at what mileage. I personally would have no qualms buying the early model after having a porsche shop check the car over assuming I could get a deal and likely using the IMS issue to get a better deal. I'd then proceed to use the retrofit kits available and replace it out.
I ordered 3 of them. They should be interesting to play with.
I wish I had a solid application for one of these. Might get one and velcro a PicoScope to the back of it. Annoyingly, I already have a really nice 11" i7 Dell from work, which more than adequately satisfies my needs when in the machine rooms, and I don't travel much anymore, which would have been the killer app.
Edit: screw it. Just ordered one. Total impulse buy, but I'm curious as hell to see if this thing is any good. We'll see how many bogus charges end up on my credit card.

My go-to EE buddy bought one, so I did too. Thanks for the tip, Joe.
Been reading the documentation on the mfg's site. They have a long FAQ on how to change the default language from Mandarin to English. (Because, of course, you're working through menus that are in Mandarin to get there.)
I'm not anticipating a fully trouble-free experience, but if nothing else, it'll be worth the $66 to have the coolest gadget for taking notes at the weekly department-heads meeting. (I'm the last of the Luddites who shows up for the meeting with a pocket notepad and a mechanical pencil.)
Graduated my EMT class with a high average. Just had my NREMT prep class yesterday and I'm scheduled to take the NRE (national registry exam) on Tuesday. I'm very nervous about this test. The passing rate is only 60%.

So far no bogus charges on the card I used, and I did get an email about the 3 I ordered shipping. So hopefully in the next few weeks they show up.
