Default Connect 1990 Accord to Laptop for data log?

I bought my first Honda this past week and I absolutely love it. The only thing I want to do is connect my laptop to it. I've never worked on anything but Ford and that's as simple as plugging OBDII to my laptop. I just want to log data/view specs while driving. Throttle, temp, pressure etc.. Anything I can do? it's a 1990 Accord 2 door, 5 speed with quite a few mods.
Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!!

Not as easy with OBDI era Honda or Ford ECUs. There is no OBD connector to plug into on them. You need to add extra hardware to hook them up to your Laptop.

I'm not real familiar with the 90-93 OBDI PT3/PT6 ECU or it's capabilities for logging with external hardware. You might want to try talking to cloudasc over on CB7tuner as he has been developing software for these ECU's. http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=184723

Another option would be to actually get yourself a 92-95 OBDI ECU from a Civic/Integra and have it modified/chipped for tuning. If you have a lot of mods you may want to look at tuning more than just monitoring anyway. A chipped OBD1 ECU is the way to go.
