Default Rogue Tuning - New Product: A new ECU!

I am extremely excited and happy to finally unveil a 2+ year project...

As our cars age, the original DMEs are starting to die. At the time, they were amazing computers, and have still proven to be very capable. However, circuit design, manufacturing, and components of the time was very limited. After 25+ years, there are quite a few common issues with the DME, such as cracked solder joints, dying ignition and injection drivers, burnt & lifted traces, ect.

The only option has been to send the to a 'rebuilder', or try to buy a NOS unit - until now:

This computer is designed to replace the factory DME. It is 100% back-wards compatible in the 944 & 951!
Take your current DME chip, 24pin or 28pin, set the internal switches (to select 951, # of chip pins, ect), plug in the DME and drive away!

Finally!!! I've been keeping this secret far too long!!

No mention of the USB ports? Direct logging ( did that get done?)

Need to detail differences.

This version works with my DME Logger & Tuner, but does not have some of the extras that were/are contemplating.

This version is designed to be a stock DME replacement... If this version does well, then we will see about doing some additional enhancements.

I talked with Tom quite a bit, offering some help for him when he first started his project, but this is a completely separate project/product with zero association to Tom.

Since no one asked yet. Price? I understand if you don't want to talk about it.
