I got mine through New Era. (I think I can post that, seeing as they are a sponsor.)

For clarification, the Scanmaster is best for 1994-1995 OBD1 vehicles. It will NOT work on 1993's. The DTC function will not work on 1996-1997 OBD2 vehicles.

Thunder Racing also has it.

not to sort of hijack, but what can you do with the scanmaster? I've heard things like actively setting your IAC values when changing to a larger throttle body, does a scanmaster do this?

No, the Scanmaster is a read-only tool. From an earlier post of mine, for 1994-1995 vehicles, it'll show you such things as:

MAF - Mass airflow sensor (1-255 grams per second)
SP - Spark Advance (1-60 degrees before top dead center)
LP - Left Injector Pulsewidth (0-50 milliseconds)
rP - Right Injector Pulsewidth (0-50 mS)
DTC - Diagnostic Trouble Codes
MPH - Vehicle Speed in miles per hour (0-255mph)
LbL - Left Block Learns aka Long Term fuel trim (108-160)
rbL - Right Block Learns aka Long Term fuel trim (108-160)
CEL - Fuel Map Cell within the computer (1-18)
Lin - Left integrator aka Short Term fuel trim (108-160)
rin - Right integrator aka Short Term fuel trim (108-160)
02L - Left Oxygen Sensor millivolts (~100-900mV)
02R - Right Oxygen Sensor millivolts (~100-900mV)
AtS/IAT - Air Temperature sensor aka Intake air temperature sensor (-40 to 300 degrees)
CLt - Coolant temperature @ waterpump (-40 to 300 degrees)
tPS - Throttle Position Sensor voltage (0-5v)
tPP - Throttle Position Percent (0-100%)
r - Engine speed in rotations/revolutions per minute (RPM)
IAC - Idle Air Controller counts (0-150)
bAt - Battery voltage
Egr - Exhaust gas recirculation duty cycle (0-100%)
MAP - Manifold Absolute pressure sensor (0-32 inches of mercury = "Hg)
bAr - Barometric pressure (MAP before engine start = 0-32"Hg)
ACP - A/C pressure sensor (0-5v)
CCP - Carbon Canister Duty Cycle (0-100%)

It will also store the highest knock retard value of the last WOT run, to be recalled with the press of a button -- in addition to the O2mV when it occurred. If I recall correctly. Click here for more info.

put mine in the vent to my left (nearest window)
