It works find for me on that prom.   You might want to also get a
couple of extra proms.  I have 3 total (2 extras) and sometimes at the
track it would be better if I had enough that I did not have to mess
with erasing at the track.   And the first time you read your prom,
send me a copy of it.  I don't have the original for mine, as I had a
tuner make the one I stared with  before I got into doing it myself.

Not likely.   Most of the programmer software is old dos software, I
run mine on a laptop so I can use it at the track.   I can usually do
3-5 proms in a good day at the track, and have generally been getting
slight improvements each time.   I figure a few more weekends at the
track and I will have it down.   I also have some basic software that
displays the data.  I need to produce a graphing interface, when
looking at the numbers everything looks pretty good to me, and the I
put up the graph (at home) and it is obvious some fuel adjustments
still need to be done.
