it really is bewildering
I cant answer all of your questions but here is what I know:
PCMCIA Card: I got one with SAAB software preloaded. You choose the manufacturer when you order, and they supply the software on the PCMCIA card. you can order additional cards with GM, Isuzu, etc or download and burn your own card.
CANdi Module: CAN Diagnostic Interface. 2006 (or so) manufactures switched to a slightly different interface, and the tech@ needed a CANdi module to talk to it. When Ordered my Tech2 I assumed that the candi module was not included, and that I'd need to get one separately for my '08 SC. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived.
Connectors/adapters
all of the adapters fit on to the end of the very substantial cable. I used the one that plugs into the standard OBD II port. I dont know what the others are for but assume one if for OBD I and the others are for different interfaces ... maybe an underhood interface? maybe different markets?
other stuff:
there are at least two power supplies, one with clips to connect to a 12v batter, and a wall wart to plug into 120v. I assume these are to power the Tech2 while downloading software updates?
TIS2000 and GlobalTIS: I dont know! (yet)
