Dsmlink also has a forum for their products. The creator is pretty helpful.

So, for not dropping the $600, are the chips worth it or should I just hold out and buy dsm link. My roomate (9guy9) uses it and I like the features.

IMO, Buy the $40 willem eprom programmer off Ebay(it works very well), buy a few $2 blank chips, and download Evilscribe or TunerPro with the 1g-E931 definition file(both free).As long as you can follow directions(NO programming experience required) you can easily burn your own custom chips and save yourself anywhere from $50 to $600.With the amount of info on the 1g eprom out now, there's NO reason to buy Dsmlinks or keydiver chips for 1gs.

What would you suggest to use for burning EPROMs? I have heard eprom burners are upwards of $150. I have also heard you can use NICs to burn eproms.

Doh! Do you know if it will work on an AMD Athlon machine? How much would it cost if I had you socket my ECU?

I don't see why it wouldn't.Go to http://www.willem.org/ details of the programmer software are there, there is even plans/schematics if you want to build your own programmer.
I usually charge $20 to socket 1g ECUs, for an extra $15-$20 I can put a ZIF(Zero Insertion Force) socket in there too, this makes changing EPROMS very easy

Hey, how come in the keydrivers forum they say you can't socket a non-socketed ecu because you need a daughter board, couple processors, etc?
