I happen to have 2 CAL-PAK's, BOTH are from 1986, BOTH are the AMU8958 chip, and Both have the date (week) code 8612 on them. They are completely different in the way they perform. Don't get me wrong, they both suk, but one is worse than the other.

I Used the SAME ECM for Both.

I would think they would be at least similar. It goes to show you that all these chips are NOT the same. Even when they are made close to the same date.

Go fig...

Are you 100% sure neither of them has been modified? Might be interesting to do a compare on the two to see what exactly is different!
