Um, you may find that, except in the ECM init code, that anything
below 26 sets the result to 0.  (The init code in a lot of ECMs
forgets to check for the underflow.)

Here are some constants which I've found used in several different ECMs:

oneBarScale  EQU 151     ;One bar MAP magnification
oneBarOffset EQU 26      ;26..242..243 => 0..255..256

twoBarScale  EQU 160     ;Two bar MAP magnification
twoBarOffset EQU 28      ;28..232..233 => 0..255..256

And here are two conversion tables I've generated:
(Use a fixed width font and at least 77 columns.  The first of these
tables matches a conversion performed by Diacom.)

Yup, they are throwing away the hard vacuum portion and the boost
portion of the MAP sensor range.  For the second table, notice what the
KPa values are for 0, 16, 32, 48 and etc.  Now think about how the table
lookup subroutine works.  Now go and label the columns/rows of your
tables.  Don't wear out your zero key...

[Heh, heh - I'm now waiting for you to find the MAP to vacuum conversion
code.  It will really throw you for a loop.]
