Digital BW, The Print

I came across a Craigslist sale of a mess of legacy computer equipment including a X-Rite Auto Scan Densotomiter
Model: DTP32R for $20. The seller has a power supply and "cables," and he thinks it works. There is no software or manual, but those are online at X-Rite. I'm not currently making profiles but it may be something I will grow into. So, my question is whether this is the device I should be picking up to make profiles someday? The price is obviously right but am I looking for too many headaches to get this to work with a Win7 system? Although I think it can be used without a direct connection to a computer, if I read some of the materials correctly. Thanks.
