It's a 1989 Memcal PROM, How best?

In Connecticut, if it matters.

Thanks.

Are you running a custom tune or are you just wanting a stock uv erasable memcal reprogrammed ?

Go to moates.net and get the Burn2 and a few PROMS. Use the Burn2 to read the current PROM and to burn another. If the PROM is soldered into the MEMCAL, then grabbing the HDR1 is also recommended.

or a uv eraser and a pocket programmer will work but it’s alittle more expensive.

Thanks. Is it a difficult process?

I have the memcal, I can just program duplicates? Sounds easy......

You might want to identify the chip on the memcal first or just get the burn 2 a sst27sf512 and g1. Easy to do a read and flash. Just erase the eeprom before reprogramming and check offsets for a 16k file size. All information on moates.net
