I'm thinking of buying a copy of the software. But first I've emailed him asking for more information about it.

No. The locations are not standard. They are different for each type of ECU. Either he had access to an SVX ECU, or our research, or maybe the locations have to be configured by the user of the software.

Yes. The yellow SSM plug in the driver's kick panel. Our latest cable design works perfectly. I read somewhere that the cable he is selling is just an FTDI USB-TTL cable with a Legacy Radio Harness soldered on the end. Just like the one Nomake Wan was using. It will need the upgrade board in order to work on cars with the "92 problem".

The whole goal of this project is to make it more accessible. ECUflash doesn't work on the older JECS OBD1 ECU like ours. It would be interesting to see if it would work on the newer OBD2 ECU. I've never had the chance to examine an OBD2 ECU.

On my website. http://www.alcyone.org.uk/ssm/roms/ There is also an definition file for Enginuity/RomRaider that might help make sense of it. The website is long overdue for an update.

Yes.

If I knew there was a demand I would have made some. I had two units for sale before and people didn't exactly snap them up.
