You edit & load the bin from a PC with Tuner Pro RT to Ostrich, and then run the car off of Ostrich.
Ostrich is a PROM Emulator only.

You can install the Ostrich permanantly (just like the Prominator). No need to burn chips, etc. It's always recommended that you carry a known-good chip in your vehicle, however, regardless of the hardware you're using.

Once you decide that the car runs well enough, you can burn a PROM, then remove and sell the Ostrich. Of course you will need to buy a PROM burner too.
