Hey guys & gals...
I just picked up a new chip programmer this week... It'll read and program a VERY wide variety of chips... so if you are looking to get one burned for a project (TIVO, PC recovery, DVD player, ECU, etc...) let me know...
I'm still needing to get a couple of PLCC adapters. Once I have those I can read & burn even more kinds of chips.

Can it program my potato chip?
Crack the code on the Mazda ECU, and you could make a bundle re-flashing them.
Wood chip?
Cow chip?
Got a spare ECU laying around? If the ROM is in a PLCC style package I'll need to buy or build an adapter first... It'd be interesting to try to reverse engineer the ECU code. If it's soldered in, I also have a surface mount soldering station and can make short work of it. ;)Quote:

One of the smaller SC companies does an NB kit where you need to ship your ECU out for a week. When you get it back, they have un-soldered it, added a ecu plug, and give you your original chip and a chip flashed for the SC.Quote:

"When your order is ready, send in your ECU to our office or one of our dealers by UPS. Our dealer will de-solder the OE chip and fit one of our sockets (takes about 1hour). The supercharger chip is then push fitted onto the ECU. The stock chip is returned to you if you later wish to remove your kit. Your ECU and kit are then shipped straight back to you."
I do........from a 92, I believe.Quote:
