Can I clone/copy a EEC-IV eeProm 87C66

Post by Peter6000 » Sat Aug 12, 2023 8:18 am

I fixed my Marine EEC-IV by swapping the eeProm 87C66 to automotive junkyard ECU, Is there any way to make a copy or re flash the one I pulled out of the automotive unit? And if so what equipment do I need.
I have a PicKit and a old DataIO but cant find the 87C66.
I searched the forum for a few hours and I'm sure the info is here somewhere I'm just to blind to find it.
Thanks Peter

It is technically possible to get a read of the original ROM you removed. But it'd probably be far easier, depending on your intentions, to look for a *.bin file of the original tune by searching for it via its catch code.

It is likely too old to be _EE_prom. If it has the quartz window it is UV erasable. If not, it is likely to be one time programmable.

There is relevant info in these docs;

Please report back if you have any success.
Cheers

Thanks to you all for the quick response, I found the .bin file for the ECU. I'm still looking for a programmer that could actually program the 87c66. I found a ton of information with your help.
As an alternative I might dig in to the J3 adapter.
I will post updates if I get it to work.

I am only aware of two people who have reprogrammed an eec-iv EPROM and AFAIK neither have been active in the eec tuning field for many years. The issue is not so much the programming hardware but the software to deal with the multiplexed address and databus these EPROMs use.

What EEC4 or vehicle did you find to get the 87C66 out of?

What does the label on your Boat EEC have on it, like hardware code or calibration #? 

Thank you
