Need help identifying upgraded ECU

Need help identifying upgraded ECU
Hello Rennlist,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I am the steward of a 1996 Carrera 4 that received some "enhancements" sometime before 2013. One such enhancement was explained as a "performance chip" in the ECU. I have the ECU out of the car, so I decided to investigate. I have attached photos of what I found, which consists of a small board wired into the ECU. Does this look familiar to anyone? If so, please share whatever information you may know.
Thanks!

Sorry, I can’t help with your query, but my car was recently remapped and the process was to remove the stock eprom (and put it somewhere safe), copy the contents onto a new eprom, fit it into the ECU , and then remap while running the car on a rolling road

The 993 DME ECM technology didn't use EPROM. It's flash memory in the engine processor chip in the DME ECM. Consider contacting the "tuner" and determine what was really done.

Hi Gbooks,
ECU Doctors offeres the daughter board option for 1996 OBD-II. Speak to them first and see if it is theirs.

Here’s an old post showing the Eprom, am I getting my terminology wrong?

Only repeating what I was told by the guys who tuned my car told me, however I have known them for forty years, they are well known in motorsport circles, and I trust them explicitly.

96 had some sort of board/system where the chip couldn't be flashed (OBDII)
97-98 could be flashed (OBDII)
