I spent far too long looking through all the receipts I have for my car back to 1988 to try to find where this particular chip might have come from:
Is it a Dinan chip? D'sylva? Bavauto? Compaq? DEC?
I couldn't find anything in the receipts. How sad. But anyway if your name is Ron C, and you lived in Houston in the 2000s, I have your car now. It doesn't have seemingly monthly coolant failures and no-starts anymore. Unlike an E36 M3 I recently sold...
Help me identify this chip

DEC? Hahaha, thanks for making me feel not-quite-so-old with that joke... I miss my former employer...
I'm going to guess Jim Conforti on that chip. But I'm guessing. If I wanted to be sure, I'd have to go dig through some parts to find my old E28 ECU where I installed a JimC chip (I drive a supereta now; no chip).
Re: Help me identify this chip
Thanks! It doesn't look like a D'sylva or Dinan chip based on the pictures I've seen, but I haven't seen a picture of any Conforti chips.garageboy wrote: ↑Jun 29, 2022 1:34 AMDEC? Hahaha, thanks for making me feel not-quite-so-old with that joke... I miss my former employer...

Re: Help me identify this chip
The more I think about it, this chip looks kinda "pre-production". When Jim C decided to actually start SELLING his chips, I think he started using the shark logo, as I recall, and later on, if you do a google image search, Turner was selling his chips so they were identifiable that way. You might have something very special if it's one of those early ones...
