It's taken me forever, but I finally tracked down a socketed EPROM ECU so I can make the jump to ECMLink - about 10 years too late ROFL. Anyway, when the ECU showed up I can see it's already been socketed and has someone else's chip in it. I can tell it's not a Link chip and ECM verified it's not theirs when I sent them the pictures. Anyone recognize this work and can give me a ballpark of what the chip is worth since I'll probably sell it? I'm assuming it's flashable with the proper software.

It's likely a Keydiver (DSMChips) Chip modified for an 8500 rev limit, 1070 cc injectors with timing maps for high compression engine with 91 Octane fuel.

Used custom chips are worth $0 unless they are exactly what you need and this one is pretty specific.
 
So, if I'm understanding correctly - it's a pre-programmed chip and not flashable. Someone would need this exact combo to be useful.

Yes, exactly. Under that label is most likely a One Time Programmable (OTP) EPROM. I don't remember ever seeing Jeff O using either the UV erasable EPROM or the Flash compatible chips since they both cost more. In any case the ECU isn't capable of erasing and reprogramming the software. You have to put the chip into a programmer to write to it.
