     That is basically what I have now, but it is setting the check
engine.  And you will have basically a prom error, and the vehicle
running off something other than the chip.  It runs like crap.  This
is in a 1993 Acura Integra with a GSR motor, and a p28 computer. 
Stock came with a 27C256.  It already had an eprom in it.  Now it
doesn't do it every time.  I like every third time it will set the
check engine lamp.  you'll have to clear codes, or disconnect the
battery to get it running correctly again.

Thanks,

Marcello
