Default Identifying an L8 chip - can any one help?

Hi all,

I've got an L8 Chip here, it has no markings on it.

I can not remember what it was from or for. I have my MSD and one of my NMS chips here.

If I send it to a tuner or someone else, can they look at the maps on it and figure out what it is for?

I think it may be an NMS one for Greys and T34, or it could be an NMS one for T38 and Siemens 72 lb/hr. Or it could be the original one from my car, which ran light greens and a T3. Who knows!

I wonder if it's best sent to Karl to see if he can recognise it or the contents, or can anyone else out there in PF land do it?

a decent tuner will have put some text in the file to identify it, unlike

this one which was probably created using the dodgy IEMS software by someone who didn't fully understand what they were doing

Thanks guys, I'm going to email Karl and see if he'll look at it and 1 other for me. I have a feeling they are both his, and would guess he'd be best to confirm this.

Kind offer Si, will bear that in mind if I get stuck

it had come direct from terry drury to the guy that originally modded my car for me, went like stink but then started playing up, tonys mechanic drove it 10 yards and shouted out of the window to tony "CHIP" and he was right!!
